One of the newest additions for the Utah Jazz has discussed some lofty expectations moving forward with his career, that being F John Collins. After being dealt over the summer from the Atlanta Hawks, the 26-year-old wants to change the narrative this season.

On Sirius XM NBA Radio, Collins was talking about his upcoming year for the Jazz, where he voiced his desire to reach Hall of Fame status by the end of his playing career:
