John Collins News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Records double-double in loss Collins finished Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Magic with 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes.

Impact Collins is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and outside of recording his fourth double-double through six games, he also posted a season-high mark in points. Collins is showing the upside he couldn't live up to as a member of the Hawks, and his fantasy upside has risen considerably compared to 12 months ago. He looks like a pivotal pice of the Jazz's offensive scheme in the frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen.

Another double-double Friday Collins recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 120-118 win over the Clippers.

Impact Collins has looked pretty comfortable to begin his tenure with the Jazz, delivering a double-double in two straight games to open the campaign. The 26-year-old has averaged a double-double over a full season only once (in 2019-20), seeing his rebounding numbers plummet after Atlanta added Clint Capela to its frontcourt, but so far Collins hasn't had the same issues while working alongside Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen.

Double-double in Jazz debut Collins registered 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 130-114 loss to the Kings.

Impact After being involved in trade rumors for years, Collins was acquired by the Jazz in June to pair next to All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen. He had a strong showing in his Utah debut when he led the team and rebounds and scored the third-most points behind Jordan Clarkson (24 points) and Markkanen (19). He'll look to help the Jazz get their first win of the year Friday when they face the Clippers at home.

Officially starting Collins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Sarah Todd of Deseret News reports.

Impact As expected, Collins will slot into Utah's starting lineup at power forward between Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While it's unclear how he'll fit into the offensive pecking order, it's likely Collins will receive more opportunities than he did back in Atlanta.

Headed to Utah Collins was traded from the Hawks to the Jazz on Monday in exchange for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Impact Collins' name has been in the rumor mill for years, so it's no surprise to see him finally dealt. The return for Collins is underwhelming, so this is mostly a salary dump for the Hawks with Collins owed $78 million over the next three years. The Hawks now have some flexibility to make additional moves, while Collins gets a fresh start in Utah and could have a featured role alongside Lauri Markkanen at small forward and Walker Kessler at center. Collins could see a sizable bump in fantasy value with this move.
