Utah Jazz G Isaiah Collier with Renewed Defensive Focus for '26/27

Zay, what's just your approach on the defensive end heading into this season? My approach is different from, you know, previous years for sure. I think it starts with just taking pride on, you know, just going to basketball, not wanting to be scored on. Also, getting better in just off-ball, stuff like that. So, I mean, it's been a whole different approach, approaching every day. Like, you know, it's got to happen, and that's what it's been so far. What kind of film have you been studying just over the summer and then early in the season on that end? I mean, of course, just watching a lot of defenders, you know, at my size, using my, you know, abilities as far as strength and things like that to try to be those type of defenders. So, I mean, it's just a want to do it and also a need, so that's what it is. Are there any defenders in particular that you kind of want to emulate? Watch a lot of Derek White a little bit. So, I mean, just taking pride in, you know, going to basketball and, you know, doing every single possession.
