Is it a ranking for how good we feel they are at moment? And not forward-looking potential? If so

Oh, I forgot about Kessler.

I just think about it how I value them overall moving forward.

For me, it's:
1 Cody
2 Keyonte
3 Filipowski
4 Kessler
5 Sensabaugh
6 Hendricks
7 Collier

- Cody needs some time to develop, but he could become a solid #2 or #3 option on a playoff team, like a bigger version of Latrell Sprewell.
- Keyonte is mostly a score-first combo-guard. He'll be a good 3rd-option type. I think he should be playing off the ball as a release-valve shooter and secondary creator.
- Filipowski has a lot of potential, from shooting, to playmaking, to beating bigs off the dribble, while holding up defensively on the perimeter. He needs some time to put it all together, but he could be similar to Al Horford.
- Kessler is supposed to be a rim-runner, and he does run the floor very well, However, his lack of offensive presence at the rim and his inability to finish plays are becoming glaring. His rebounding will bring him a steady paycheck.
- Sensabaugh is a nice, offensively-skilled wing with enough size and strength to beat some guys. He's not quick or explosive. He may be similar to Aaron Nesmith.
- I'm having issues with Hendricks. He can't dribble, he can't self-create, he can only shoot with his feet set, and he has almost no in-between game. He's mostly a defensive player right now, strictly 3D, but lots of guys can do that--like that guy Toumani Camara, for example. There's still value here, and if I were being conservative I'd put him above Sensabaugh.
- I think Collier is probably going to be a backup. He handles, passes and defends well enough to take some rotation minutes, but he's limited offensively.

Good news, all of them look like they can be rotation level players. Bad news, only Keyonte has shown star level potential so far

Sensabaugh is the guy who is probably being played out of his comfort zone the most. They are masquerading him as a PG at times. Hopefully it helps speed his development. I had him last in my rankings, but he could easily be in the top 3 by the end of the year.
 
Two questions:

How many of these players are on their second contract with the Jazz?

How many of these players have a second contract and are in any NBA rotation?

With all the incoming draft picks we can't keep them all, so I'll say we keep 4 of the 7. I think that 6 out of 7 get a second contact somewhere.

3 and 4 for me….which is probably still higher than expectation based on their draft positions.

6/7 being NBA rotation players would be a hell of a draft record.

All of our guys are very young, so teams will bet on youth. Second contract could just mean a minimum contract somewhere.
