Man, NO has some talent. Crap, ours has potential, but theirs have actually done something. With the right coach that team could shock the NBA.
Next year our under 25 could be Favors, Kanter, Gobert, Hayward, Burks, Burke, Neto and the 2 2014 picks. Pretty damn good.
What?
Evans has lead his team to being one of the worst teams.
Same with Holiday.
Same with Gordon.
Davis has star potential an Rivers could be a good role player, the rest are ******* children.

3. Utah Jazz
Players: Trey Burke (20), Alec Burks (22), Derrick Favors (22), Rudy Gobert (21), Gordon Hayward (23), Enes Kanter (21)
Although they lack a single player ranked in the top 25 under 25, I have the Jazz third on this list for two reasons. First, Favors is quickly laying claim to the mantle of "most underrated player in the league" by virtue of playing for the small-market Jazz. He's a top-shelf athlete with excellent length and an improving post game, and also serves as a team defensive anchor and rim protector. Second, Utah has diversified talent; that is to say, the Jazz have players who bring different things to the table at different positions: Hayward as a shooter, Burks as a combo guard, Burke as a scoring point guard and Kanter as a talented face-up 4. The advantage gained by this is that each player has the room to grow their game into natural areas of team need without cannibalizing their minutes.
Outside of those core players, Gobert is an athletic freak who has the potential to be a game-changing talent on the defensive end. He won't see much time initially, but that's a good thing for a player whose game needs refining.
(It's nice to know that we are 3rd out of 30 in terms of youth talent under 25.) Your welcome by the way.

I really want to see them name 25 better players under 25 years old than Hayward

His knowledge seems pretty basic, Gobert is a defensive game changer due to his length, not athleticism. Kanter as a face up 4 could happen someday, but currently his game has been a post up 5.
The Jazz have 4 top 10 picks and not one of those players is in the top 25? Wow. We blew those opportunities.
Hayward should be in the top 25 already due to his production.
Favors and kanter would be in there if not for jeffy and millsap.
Burks would be league mvp if not for corbin. (Summer league mvp at least)
Seriously I think all 4 will be in there if they do this ranking again next year

So, are our players not good enough to beat out an undersized, effort lacking pf and a C who doesn't run the offense, doesn't run the defense and doesn't...well, run at all?
Or is it the coach we have?
Or did KOC drop the ball in his drafts/trades?
Either way, there has been a major problem in this organization. Lets hope they get it figured out.
