Burks, Favors, Hayward, Kanter--which youngster are you most excited about? Which one are you most looking forward to see develop? Which one will be the best player when all is said and done? Etc.
 
I voted Hayward but it really is a toss up for me between him and Burks. I am highly optimistic about all 4 though.
 
Favors because I feel like we are only seeing the tip of the iceburg. I feel like with Hayward we have seen what he is going to be, with Favors there is a lot that hasn't been seen.
 
I love the potential of Hayward, and how he can affect a game. Their are so many ways he can attack, getting to the foul line creating for his teammates, slashing, his one man fast break, rebounding, and his shot is coming around, and he plays solid defense, and has a high motor. This is only his second season, and first full season getting big minutes. It boggles the mind how good he could be 3 or 4 years when Hayward hits his prime.
 
I voted burks, but as others have said i think that hayward, favors, and burks will all be VERY good and kanter will be a good player too.
This is about as excited i have ever been for the jazz future and i love all 4 of our young guys.
 
I dont make alot of money and have never bought season tickets before but i am probably going to buy season tickets next year for the first time.
The Future Four are the reason why.

Well, he has no trouble getting to the rim, which is huge, but his touch is terrible right now, and that's not something that's easily improved. If his hands develop (he's still young), look out.
 
I voted Favors, but I really like the promise of both Burks and Hayward.

It won't be popular, but I'm just not sure yet on Kanter. I see his best case scenario is as a Charles Oakley type career. He will have a long career and be a solid contributor, but I'm not sure he'll ever be more than a 10 point 8-10 rebound physical player. That is very solid, but not a star. However, I see star potential in all three others.

I posted the poll because I realized a few weeks back that I myself couldn't pick between Burks, Favor, and Hayward. I'm also excited about Kanter--he's played MUCH better this year than I expected due to his youth/time off--but not quite as excited as for the other three. I think any one of them could be an All Star.

Kanter just hasnt shown that wow factor the other 3 have.

He gets the job done at times, but i dont really see him doing something jaw dropping very often in his career.

However, I think he will be that quintessential piece every championship team has --- that annoying physical defender that not only gets in your head, but grabs every rebound in sight, and quietly and efficiently adds in 10-14 pts a game.
