The Isaiah Collier Thread.

Is he good? Or maybe good is too strong, but is he ok?

 

[nuraman00]

When is a good time to partially answer this question? When is a good evaluation point for us?

I found him on here: x.com

He's below Gabe Vincent?

He's below Gabe Vincent?

I don’t know. I never figured out how to use that chart. I just assumed the higher was better. I also know that he’s a rookie.

 

[nuraman00]

A rookie with potentially a lot of freedom to do stuff.

 

[nuraman00]

Weird that he's below Stephon Castle. As of now, I like Collier more.

Also, maybe it's a compliment to be compared to Gabe Vincent? Gabe Vincent was a starter on the 2022 - 2023 NBA Finals Miami Heat team.

Some guys on the radio seemed to think that he was talking about Collier here regarding saying that he doesn’t care what happened five minutes ago. I haven’t watched the whole video that I’m posting now, I’m just trying to show the clip on Will Hardy. So I’m talking about a different host.

Collier, according to the radio host I am talking about is somewhat of a perfectionist, and I don’t know if this is being competitive or being critical. But when something doesn’t go the right way, and this year is pretty often because we’re not very good, he can’t let go and just address it in film sessions and work and practice. He’s upset in the moment. And they in that if you actually go to the game and not just watch the TV and you watch him, you could see body language that shows has this pleasure when something doesn’t go right.

This can be a good thing and show that he’s a good observer because it’s not always just getting mad when I miss a shot or turns of all over. It’s little things as well. So if you can learn and make sure that he doesn’t commit those mistakes and teach others and move on in the moment but work and practice with the players, this could be something good.

Another host said that if he can dedicate himself right when the season ends for conditioning and everything, he could solidify himself next year. and no, the host doesn’t say that about every player. He’s very candid on who he thinks is just there for the time being. Even those players who are just there for the time being may have a good role on the current team and he’s not just looking for superstars or great role players. They’re going to be some role players that play their role very well, who aren’t great and that might be good enough for the current team as they upgrade.

Dang it! The video I was going to post is actually from 10 months ago and 27 minutes. So I deleted it. But anyway the video I’m talking about is where Will Hardy is talking about how the Jazz players need to move on and how he doesn’t care about what happened earlier in the game when he’s trying to coach in the last few minutes of the game. I think this is the Pacers game where we lost by one. Maybe that happened because people weren’t focused on what was happening currently because of what happened a while ago. And that’s where he may be talking about Collier.

There is probably a balance between pointing out mistakes, learning from them, but also being able to move on.

I'm glad he seems like a thinker, as that's a good quality to have for a PG.
