Kanter, Hayward, and Evans will all be part of the future but Favors and Burks will be the future of tthis team! I see Burks as a Brandon Roy type and Favors as an Amare Stoudemire type.

Thoughts?
 
Too early to tell. Burks shows plenty of talent and promise, but we have to see it displayed at the highest level. Hayward has the tools but his shot has to be consistent, imo, for him to real damage. Kanter (see Burks). Favors has to develop more of a killer instinct.

All the youth, talent, skill, size, and athliticism are there, just have to hope most of these guys TAKE the most of it.
 
I think Hayward will be a real stud and one of our cornerstones. He's not overly athletic, but he's also not without. He's very skilled and seems capable of completing most tasks on the basketball court. That's the thing I think is lost on most fans... Of course this is my opinion, but all a player needs to do is be able to complete what is asked of him, it doesn't require other worldly physical skill. There were plenty of pg's more athletic than Stockton, but he got the job done. Hayward seems similar; a high IQ guy that can pick up an offense and do what is asked. MY NAME'S GORDON HAYWARD, I GET BUCKETS!!

48.5% Field Goal percentage, 47.3% 3-Point percentage. Pretty consistent for a small sample size. Only knock was 71.1% FT shooting.
 
If Burks will be as half good as Hayward, then we are really lucky, but i don't have any data to say he can be allstar right now. You can't be a star if you look good, but to be an allstar your game should look good, and we haven't seen him yet. Also Favors is offensively too far from being a Amare. They are completely different players. His game looks more like Kenyon Martin than Amare

Translation: Gordon Hayward is white.
 
I hope Burks is great but the discussions about him remind me of things said about Ronnie Brewer after we drafted him
 
I'd have to see them actually play in the NBA first.

Burks is absolutely more skilled but i have so many doubts about his defense
