A medical wrap still covers the base of John Collins' right ring finger — an outward reminder of the injury that led to his career-low shooting season last year.
"I'll tell you the one thing that has surprised me is the lack of ego here; it's refreshing," Collins said. "To have a group of guys that truly emphasize playing team basketball and want to do so, it's nice for me to see and exciting for me to be around. It helps me wake up in the morning motivated to go play."
"Coach Will emphasizes a different way to basketball here," Collins said. "'I'm just excited. With the way that I move and the energy that I play with on the court, I feel like it will be rewarded in the best way." As for how the versatile forward will fit into the Jazz's already stout front court, that's still a work in progress.
