Selected in 29th position by the Utah Jazz, Isaiah Collier gradually slipped all evening. Projected “first pick” last September, the leader went through the smallest of the doors in the first round.
Isaiah Collier is not a pick 29 like the others. Thanks to a potential considered very high, the Trojans playmaker was projected at the top of the 2024 Draft a year ago, before gradually falling. Between a very solid physique (1m95, 93 kilos), playmaker potential and particularly sharp drives, Collier has enormous offensive qualities with the ball in hand. However, the question marks regarding his shooting and his impact on the defensive level have visibly cooled a good number of scouts since 28 players were called up before him. In recent mock drafts, he was projected low around places 20-25, and high higher in the top 15.

In a Utah team in rebuild mode, Isaiah Collier has a real chance to prove himself as a playmaker. Keyonte George, author of a good rookie season last year, is not really a position 1 by trade and rather alternates on the back lines as a combo-guard. Necklace will therefore have a good number of sequences to take the game into your own hands and prove to the General Manager that they had no choice but to pass on his name. The connection with a Big Man like Walter Kessler also suggests several tempting possibilities. Even if Isaiah Collier probably didn’t want to go this low, he finds himself in an almost ideal situation to make his basketball talk, with Cody Williams as a teammate!
