The Utah Jazz had two contract decisions to make on Monday.

The team opted to pick up Ace Bailey’s rookie option and declined Isaiah Collier’s. That means Collier will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The Bailey option pickup isn’t a surprise; he’s taken a big leap on defense and has had a strong start to the year.

Meanwhile, Collier has struggled this season. He’s shooting 40.5% from the field and has missed all eight of his 3-point attempts. He’s also struggled with turnovers, averaging 2.3 per game in 17.6 minutes.

At times, he’s looked hesitant to shoot the ball; other times, he’s had tunnel vision when driving toward the hoop.

A source told The Tribune that Collier took the news well and the team will use the season to evaluate where things stand with the third-year guard.

In deciding to decline his option, the team considered his play over the previous two seasons, along with his slow start this season.

Anyway, it’s time for another Utah Jazz Q&A. Thanks, as always, for the questions. Questions have been lightly edited.

What do you make of the rotations thus far? Will Hardy playing full bench units is certainly a choice — @SeanBell_

For Hardy and the Jazz, these early games are more about data collection and figuring out what does and doesn’t work than sticking with one lineup.

We are already seeing Darryn Peterson or Keyonte George stick around with four bench players, and it’s made a difference.

The Jazz didn’t want to overload Peterson early, but are giving him more responsibility as the season has gone along.

On top of that, Collier played the fewest minutes of his season against San Antonio on Monday. He didn’t enter the game until the fourth quarter when the game was well out of hand.

It will be interesting to see where his minutes settle or whether he’s out of the rotation.

Is our rebounding issue a personnel issue or an effort issue? — @c_quaid_

The Jazz have a number of issues, but, shockingly, rebounding isn’t one of them right now.

Still, I get why it appears that way.

Utah ranks No. 2 in defensive rebounding percentage. But the Jazz don’t crash the offensive glass as well, ranking No. 19 in offensive rebounding percentage.

Hardy has emphasized team rebounding all season, and it’s paid off early.

Why do the basketball gods hate us? — @AllenSchow

The Jazz’s start to the season has been brutal. A big reason is that the Jazz are still learning how to win basketball games after four seasons of losing.

Utah also misses Jaren Jackson and Jusuf Nurkic on both ends of the court. Relying on three players under the age of 23 (Peterson, George and Bailey) to carry the offense was always going to lead to inconsistency and some ugly nights.

Throw in Utah’s bench struggles, and, well, you get a 1-6 start.

It’s hard to find one player who’s had a better-than-expected start to the season, so anytime the starters sit, it feels like Utah is just trying to break even at best in those minutes.

Right now, the Jazz are a mess. Still, the team has faith it can turn it around. Getting healthier will help. According to a source, Nurkic is supposed to be re-evaluated at the end of this week or early next week.

He’s done some light drills and shooting work, but his return will be a big help to the Jazz offense.

What do you feel are the top 2 needs to improve this roster? — @deige22

The offense needs to improve a lot. It feels like every shot is difficult to get and even harder to make.

Utah is struggling to get to the rim, and it isn’t shooting many 3-pointers, ranking No. 21 in 3-point frequency.

Meanwhile, Utah ranks No. 1 in mid-range frequency. Roster construction plays a part, but the Jazz are taking too many mid-range shots, which are among the least efficient looks in basketball.

Overall, Utah ranks No. 29 in offensive impact, which ... isn’t great. Especially since offense is Hardy’s calling card.

The Jazz’s shooting needs to improve if the team has dreams of turning the season around. Utah ranks No. 27 in true shooting percentage, a mark that no one expected coming into the season.

The second biggest issue is turnovers. Those give opposing teams extra shots and let them win the possession battle. Hardy has mentioned multiple times that this needs to change.

Utah ranks No. 21 in turnover rate. A bright spot in the Jazz’s loss to the Spurs on Monday is that Utah only turned the ball over 11 times, a season-low. Let’s see if Utah can build off that.
