Rookie Contract Power Rankings

1. Kessler

2. Flip (definitely recency bias, but he just has too many intangibles for me not to be high on. The size, the passing, the shooting, the efficiency. He needs to learn his spots and I don't think he'll ever be a plus defender, but the above combination just can't be taught)

3. Collier (great vision and speed, his shooting is still concerning for me)
4. Keyonte (flashes of brilliance and his body language is better since going to the bench, but still not fully bought in)

5. Cody (definitely has some flashes. This off-season will be big for my perception, I just need to see some fire/work ethic)

6. Brice (I've just never been a believer. He is a fantastic shooter, but I just don't think it is enough to fill his many other gaps besides being a 10th man backup energy plus)

I'd honestly consider Juzang and KJ Martin as more intriguing pieces than Brice for me, and I'd throw both of them into any trade to get it over the line and not even think twice about it

Ageee with your whole take
 
De'Aaron Fox eventually learned to shoot well enough. Maybe that's who Collier should take as a role model. Collier should have much of the rest of Fox's game.

Stylistically I agree. Many of Fox’s strengths are Collier’s same strengths. Isaiah just lacks the same true top-end explosiveness + vertical athleticism. Fox is so gifted in that sense.

Collier is stronger and tougher than Fox. That's worth something. Collier can push past or push through defenders. They share the ability to make plays a full speed.

Brice has been better this year than almost every wing drafted ahead of him. His draft projected draft position in the late lotto before injury red flags came out was well warranted.

If his D can get anywhere close to league average, he’ll have been an outright steal.
 
The way things are going at this point, I think that from the Jazz's standpoint it would take a really big offer for the Jazz to move Walker Kessler, and I think it would take a fairly sizable offer for the Jazz to be willing to move Keyonte or Flip. Those look like meaningful future pieces. Collier is somewhat intriguing. Brice is someone I think they'd move.
 
Here are some PBP Net Rating On/Off numbers for our Rookie Contract Guys:

Kessler: On -7.5 Off -7.69 DIFF +.19
Keyonte: On -10.5 Off -4.09 DIFF -6.41
Brice : On -9.34 Off -6.71 DIFF -2.63
Cody: On -13.62 Off: -5.17 DIFF -8.45
Collier: On -9.02 Off: -6.34 DIFF -2.68
Flip On: -8.37 Off -7.16 DIFF -1.21

I think Flip/Keyonte/Collier are essentially in a 3-way tie. Each have a glaring weakness that has to be improved on for them to be legitimate NBA rotation players on a playoff team.

I actually think Hendricks belongs in this tier because while he lacks feel, he actually is probably our best prospect for being NBA-quality on both sides of the court even if that skill set is still raw.

IDK, Taylor was kind of Cody last year, just with less opportunity. Also have no idea how that injury is supposed to heal. Hayward was never the same after his leg snapped.
