It would have been easy for him to dismiss concerns about him being the Jazz’s highest-paid player this season, to blame the constant turmoil in Atlanta and point out that the offensive scheme progressively de-emphasized his role and diminished his usage.“I understand people being used to me playing one way and then obviously not playing up to the standards that are expected,” Collins said.
He did, however, ultimately concede that while “there’s always room for it to get better,” it’s also “never going to be 100% until I stop playing the game.” While he’s grateful to the Jazz for offering him a fresh start, he also made it clear that it’s a reciprocal relationship, and that there’s plenty that he’ll bring to the table as well.
