USC Basketball: Insider Points Out Isaiah Collier's One Fatal Flaw Heading into Freshman Year

His one area of improvement!

Your University of Southern California Trojans will be selling out arenas all season long this year thanks to numerous, seasoned contributors coming back in Boogie Ellis and Kobe Johnson along with elite freshman starting their college careers in Isaiah Collier and Bronny James.

Bronny is obviously the big name here due to everybody keeping a close eye on him these past four years and seeing if he has what it takes to not only make the NBA but also live up to the greatness of LeBron James. Therefore, it's very easy to gloss over the fact that the number one player in the nation will be running point guard for the Trojans this year.

No matter what defense he faced in high school, Collier learned how to use every inch of the court to get to wherever he wanted and create shots for himself and his teammates. He was named Mr.Georgia Basketball for the 2023 season and also the Naismith Prep Player of the Year. Having a polished point guard at any level of basketball is important but especially in college where structure and ball movement are heavily utilized and USC will watch their offense transform with a 6'4 playmaker leading the way.

Without even one game under his belt at the college level, Collier is already getting buzz as a lottery pick for the 2024 NBA Draft. However, one 247 Sports expert detailed the one facet of his game he must work on to solidify himself in those conversations.

"The one area in his game that has long held him back is his jumper and if he can prove to be a reliable shooter off the catch and can punish defenders going under ball screens he could go in the top three in 2024.

Collier ranked as the No. 2 player in our rankings
