Kyle Collinsworth

Kyle Collinsworth (born October 3, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the San-en NeoPhoenix of the B.League. He played college basketball for Brigham Young University (BYU). During the 2014–15 season, Collinsworth broke the NCAA single-season record for triple-doubles with six, which also tied the NCAA career record. On March 16, 2016, Collinsworth recorded his twelfth career triple-double, extending the NCAA record he set earlier in the season.

Born in Provo, Utah, Collinsworth attended Provo High School, where he was a four-year starter and played for teams that won two 4A state titles. He was three times named to the first-team all-state team. As a senior, he averaged 23.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 4.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game and recorded five triple-doubles. He was Deseret News Mr. Basketball, Salt Lake Tribune Male Athlete of the Year and Utah Gatorade Player of the Year. He was also selected to play in the 2010 High School Academic All-American Classic.

Collinsworth was recruited by ASU, BYU, Cal, Stanford, Gonzaga, Kansas, USC, Utah, Utah State, Virginia, and Washington State. He committed to play college basketball at BYU and signed his letter of intent on November 12, 2009.

As a freshman, Collinsworth averaged 5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting .481 from the field, .259 from three and .568 from the free throw line. He posted season highs of 16 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks and recorded 1 double-double. He posted 15 rebounds against Florida in the NCAA Tournament. Following his freshman season, Collinsworth departed on a two-year LDS mission to Russia.

Following his LDS mission, Collinsworth was readmitted to BYU and was named as a team captain for the 2013–14 season. As a sophomore, he averaged 14.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals and recorded 7 double-doubles. He ranked second in the WCC in rebounding (83rd in the nation), third in steals (89th nationally), and third in assists (60th nationally). He was one of only four players in the country to be ranked in the top 100 in assists and steals. Collinsworth was named to the All-WCC First Team, the WCC All-Tournament Team, and the CollegeSportsMadness.com All-WCC Third Team.

In his junior year, Collinsworth averaged 13.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists per game, and set an NCAA single-season record of six triple-doubles. That also tied an NCAA record for career triple-doubles, joining former Drexel guard Michael Anderson and past LSU superstar center Shaquille O'Neal. Collinsworth was the only player in the nation who ranked in the top 100 nationally in rebounds (42nd), assists (16th), and steals (71st) per game. He ranked second in the WCC in each category, and was again named All-WCC First Team and WCC All-Tournament Team at the end of the season.

On February 1, 2016, Collinsworth was named one of 10 finalists for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. For the season, he averaged 15.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game - ranking 5th in the nation in the latter. With a triple-double against UAB, he tied his own single-season record for triple doubles with six, and extended his NCAA record for career triple doubles to 12, which still stands today in NCAA men's basketball. (In women's play, Sabrina Ionescu had 26 for Oregon from 2016 to 2020.) He led his team to the NIT final four, although the NCAA ordered the NIT appearance and all but one of BYU's wins in that season vacated due to findings that BYU boosters had provided improper benefits to Collinsworth's teammate Nick Emery. For his efforts, Collinsworth was named WCC Player of the Year, and again repeated as All-WCC First Team (for the third season in a row). He was also named Honorable Mention All-American by several media organizations, including the Associated Press.

After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Collinsworth joined the Dallas Mavericks for the 2016 NBA Summer League. On July 21, 2016, he signed with the Mavericks, but was waived on October 22 after appearing in five preseason games. On October 30, 2016, he was acquired by the Texas Legends of the NBA Development League, now known as the NBA G League, as an affiliate player of the Mavericks.
