Standing at 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Collier is one of the bigger guards in the 2024 Draft Class.
His biggest strengths definitely come on the offensive end. Collier is a natural scorer who specializes in generating points inside the arc. His shooting and playmaking are serviceable but definitely will need to improve in the long term.
Collier is most effective with the ball in his hands. Assuming the pick pans out, this would match the Jazz’s plans of moving Keyonte George to an off-guard role.
