"I think this is when we start building habits and, you know, transfer to the regular season." Isaiah Collier had five steals in the Utah Jazz's preseason game and put them down to competing. He sees preseason as where those habits begin.
"18 steals for us is a really high number." From the Jazz's media availability: Isaiah Collier started it and Ace Bailey's hands and length kept it going, but they don't expect to force turnovers at that rate every night.
Utah's Ace Bailey says his offseason conditioning (track work, 3-minute runs, bikes, 80/20 intervals) was aimed at a bigger role, because "you want to play longer." His focus is defense: "I'm not worried about the offensive end. I mean, I can score." His model: Kawhi Leonard.
