At Jazz, Collin and Collins are getting better and better

Faced with a Philadelphia team deprived of Joel Embiid and tired, the Jazz logically won. In addition to Lauri Markkanen's 33 points, there is the connection between Collin Sexton And John Collins which is worth emphasizing. It comes down to one number: 6. Like the first’s six assists for the second.

“I really like playing pick-and-roll with Collin”explains the interior to Deseret News. “He has a very good feeling. We have great chemistry even though we haven't spent much time together. »

With 19 points at 9/10 on the shoot, the former Atlanta player took full advantage of Embiid's absence, always well served by the former Cleveland player, author of a match with 22 points and 10 assists ( his season record).

“John did a really good job of alternating between setting screens and using his speed,” analyzes Jazz coach Will Hardy. “He’s a dynamic athlete when he goes to the rim after the screen. This can be explained by his own qualities, but also by the pace of the player who has the ball and makes the pass. »

The Collins ogre

Uncomfortable in the role of playmaker, distributing and organizing, Collin Sexton is starting to find his bearings. Of course, he lost five balls against the Sixers, but over the last nine matches, he gives 5.4 passes and loses 1.9 balls on average.

It's not yet a ratio worthy of the best, but for him, it's already much better than his years with the Cavaliers. “I told him and I tell everyone: I have never seen him so good at decision-making”congratulates Jordan Clarkson on his current streak.

And her relationship with John Collins is promising. “We're looking for opportunities to get Collins more involved in that role, off the screen, where he can go to the basket.”announces Will Hardy. “Not every team can defend on him in this situation. This match was very good for him. It's good to see him getting into rhythm. »
