Jazz still have the best players under 25 in the NBA for 2016/17 season and when healthy will become the force predicted for them :

Gobert (C) 23 7'1"
Favors (PF)24 6'10"
Lyles (PF)20 6'10"
Hood (SG)23 6'8"
Burks (SG)24 6'6"
Exum (PG)20 6'6"

Being a young team ,this squad can rejoin elite status in team defense and the return of Exum should turn them loose for a more uptempo team offensively.

Here are comparable teams :

Orlando: Gordon (PF)20 , Hezonja (SG)21 ,Oladipo (SG)23 ,Payton (PG)22 ,Fournier (SG)23
Minnesota: Towns (C)20 , Wiggins (SF)21 , Lavine (SG)21
Milwaukee:Parker (PF)21 , Antetokoumpo (SF)21 , Middleton (SG)24

Jazz have the most young and ready players for primetime!
 
Thanks - so in other words if this were "Logan's Run" The Jazz would probably be more competitive.
 
Logan's Run revisited ......when Exum started with Gobert ,the Jazz went 19 (W) & 10(L) and held the opposition to 89 ppg.
Health means everything to this Jazz team who have waited for all to be healthy to see what and if all the predictions of them becoming a force ....happens.
 
The problem is GS' core is not much older and they are light years ahead of the Jazz. I'd actually take Minny's core over the Jazz. Getting another high lottery pick and KAT looks like he's a true franchise player. Wiggins definitely has that potential, too. I don't think you can say that about ANY of the Jazz' young guys.

Wiggins/Towns is obviously the best young duo in the NBA. Hard to compete with back to back #1 picks.
