Have "The Core Five" Turned A Corner?

[Stoked]

In January 2014 they are averaging:

Favors - 16.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, .2 apg, 1.0 bpg, 1 spg in 31.4 mpg

Kanter - 14.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg, .7 apg, .7 bpg, .8 spg in 22.3 mpg

Hayward - 27.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 5.0 apg, 1.3 bpg, 2.0 spg in 39 mpg

Burks - 15.8 ppg, 4.0 bpg, 2.8 apg, .2 bpg, .3 apg in 31.5 mpg

Burke - 13.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 7.3 apg, 0 bpg, .8 spg in 33 mpg

Hayward leads the team in ppg, bpg, spg and mpg.
Favors in rpg.
Burke in apg.

Have they turned a corners as individuals and a team? Thoughts?

Once again all figures are for January 2014

Are you trying to say that the season is tanked? Like when a little kid says poopded in the potty? Did you mean the Jazz tankded the season?

Sounds awesome! Then we will have 2-3 streaks of 2-3 game losing streaks, and be back on top of the tankorama!

Im especially happy for Burks. Last three games he has been great. finally he is getting some spot lights he deserves and showing what he is capable of to everyone.

More important than their stats (at least to me) is the fact that EVERY night a member of the Core5 puts together a lights-out, blow-up performance whether they win or lose. We're seeing the kind of incredible potential that all of these lottery picks have.

They need consistent minutes, a chance to develop chemistry together and the opportunity to make (and learn from) mistakes without being worried about getting benched in favor of less talented vets. Imagine if the Jazz could rely on a great performance from someone every night for a whole season AND that they all improve as they continue to play together. I think that could be a special team.
