Jazz expressing interest in John Collins, Jalen McDaniels

The Utah Jazz have been active in the days leading up to the2023 trade deadline.

While rival teams are calling about Jarred Vanderbilt, MalikBeasley, Kelly Olynyk and Mike Conley, Utah has also weighed theiroptions as a buyer.

According to Matt Moore of The ActionNetwork, the Jazz have expressed interest in Atlanta Hawks bigman John Collins and Charlotte Hornets wing Jalen McDaniels amongother players.

While some reports have said that the Hawks' new-look frontoffice values Collins and may hold onto him, other reports haveindicated that Atlanta's asking price for Collins is at an all-timelow and that he could be had without even parting with afirst-round pick.

This season, Collins is averaging 13.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and1.2 blocks, while shooting 51% from the field.

McDaniels has been a pleasant surprise for theHornets, averaging 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2threes and 1.1 steals on .450/.325/.843 shooting splits.

Since there are so few sellers around the NBA at the moment,rival teams will be closely monitoring the Jazz and what theyultimately decide to do.
