[edit] High school career

Jarron Collins was born in Northridge, California.[1] He and his twin brother Jason graduated from Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, California. Jarron shot 72 percent from the floor and averaged 13.8 points and 9.2 rebounds during his senior year in high school, breaking the 31-year California rebounding record with over 1,500.[2][3]

[edit] College career

Collins attended Stanford University, where he was a two-time All American and finished his Stanford career in the top ten all time in four career categories: rebounds, blocked shots, field-goal percentage and games played.[4]

He was also recruited by UCLA, where he, his brother, and Earl Watson were the guests at the recruiting dinner that led to the firing of Jim Harrick at UCLA.[5]

[edit] NBA career

Collins was selected by the Utah Jazz in the second round of the 2001 NBA Draft and played eight seasons with the Jazz until becoming a free agent following the 2009 season.[6]

Collins spent the 2009 NBA preseason with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was waived by Portland, but then claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Suns.[7]

Collins later joined the Los Angeles Clippers, signing a 10-day contract on January 7, 2011. He renewed his tenure, later signing another 10-day contract on January 17, 2011. On March 1, 2011, he signed a 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers,[8] and was released after finishing a second ten-day contract.

His twin brother Jason also plays in the NBA.
