Isaiah Collier Earns Rookie Of The Month Honors
Collier’s uptick in performance is closely tied to his move into the starting lineup which began shortly after the new year.
Since January 5, the first-year guard is averaging 10.5 points and 8.5 assists in 30 minutes per game.
Collier has recorded eight double-doubles in the 28-game stretch and nine games with at least 10 assists.
A nice honor for @UtahJazz guard Isaiah Collier to be named Rookie of the Month.
He’s played well since moving into the starting lineup.#TakeNote | @kslsports pic.twitter.com/udwvNf560g

The guard’s 325 assists are the most by any rookie this season, and rank fifth most by any first-year Jazz player.
Collier sits 90 assists behind John Stockton for the Jazz’s rookie record, and can break the record if he averages 4.3 assists per game over the final 21 contests of the season.
At his current assist rate as a starter, Collier is on pace to break the record in the next 11 games.
Walker Kessler is the last Jazz player to earn Rookie of the Month honors. The center earned the award in February of 2023.
Donovan Mitchell, Rodney Hood, Trey Burke, and Karl Malone have also won the award for the Jazz.
