Best vs. Most Valuable Player (On the Jazz)

My current view is that while G-Time is our best/most talented player, our most valuable player (defined as the player we could least afford to lose) would be either Favors or Burke.

The way we started the season and how we have played since would seem to indicate that Burke would be the man, but I have really been impressed with Favors growth and maturity. He is really the anchor for or defense and his offense is coming around.

What do others think?
 
As they are right now

Hayward
Favors
Burke
Burks
Jefferson
Kanter
Williams
Evans
Gobert
 
Jazz record Without Burke: 1-9
Jazz record Without Favors: 0-3
Jazz record Without Hayward: 2-3

Based on records alone, the Jazz seem less affected when Hayward is out, so I'd agree with the OP.

MVP (directly correlates to success of the team): Burke or Favors
Best/Most Talented Player (best stats): Hayward

you have to look at whose backing up each player. JL3 and Garrett are much bigger drops in talent compared to Hayward -> Burks and Favors -> Kanter

Well I think the jazz are better now with or without Burke then they were to start the year. Don't remember the first two games Favors sat out, but Kanter was horrendous vs the Wolves. With Hayward out, Burks played great. Just son contributing factors to think about.
 
Hmm good question.


Its definitely out of Favors, Hayward, and Burke. But I would even narrow it down to just Burke and Favors. Put Hayward 3rd.

Its tough to say between Favors and Burke. I think Burke is the more talented player and helps us win more right now. But if I were forced to choose, I would pick Favors because his skillset is more rare and having a rim protector is more important than a point guard. Just because point guards are more abundant. We could always find another PG. It would be pretty hard to find another legit rim protector with a solid offensive game.


Favors would be harder to replace than Burke or Hayward so I would take Favors.
 
Balancing salary(future contacts included), Burke by a mile. Then favors, Hayward, Burks, kanter, Evans, Marv, gobert, rush, clark, garrett, jefferson, the coaching staff, the jazz management, stadium and parking lot attendants, the new screens, jazz bear, every seat in the energy solutions arena, the media, Kim jong un, biedrins and jl3
 
Definitely between Favors and Hayward. Burke really isn't going to be near any level that Favors or Hayward will reach. He'll be solid.

You have brutally underrated the Jazz bear. I would also take the Jazz dancers over the coaching staff.
