It became increasingly clear to me in the week or so leading up to the draft, that Dante is infact quite smart. He seems like hes got outstanding awareness considering his age, id use the word calculated.

Trey Burke told @ESPNAndyKatz before draft Jazz needed "a true center and another guard" Specifically mentioned Exum according to Katz.
I hope Hayward and Favors doesn't read this.
Lol, why? Favors himself thinks he is a PF and Kanter plays PF.

What I really want to see is his defense. If he can defend I will be happy. I feel like he's going to score inside off the dribble. But it's all about defense for me. I know his defensive rating is pretty good but I look forward to seeing what he can do against NBA players. The fact he's big, intelligent and fast is good but we shall see.
It will be interesting to see how Exum and Hood play with Burke. No idea if Hood will start (depends on many things - some outside his control such as the other SFs) but Exum and Hood definitely have some useful tools.

Well Favors has said in the past that he considered himself a PF, but much more recently the Jazz said they definitely consider him a C.
I suspect things have changed after last year. I am sure he knows what the Jazz brass have said.
Before I make these kind of predictions I want to see their summer league roster, as I'm fairly familiar with the skillset of many players in European leagues.
But if I assume an average summer league roster, I'd say:
Per 36 Minutes:
17Pts, 6 Assists, 4 Reb, 2 Steal, 28% 3pt%, 45% FG%, 70% FT%
So I'll modify that once rosters are leaked.

Why?
So then they can play half *** and pat themselves on the back for their "good effort good job!"?
I hope they not only heard this but plastered it all over their bedrooms. Maybe it will finally light a fire under their asses? I'd love to see Favors actually get emotional and play with some nasty. I'd love for Hayward to actually attack the rim and develop a post game.
I hope more talented but underachieving players are called out.
Hopefully someone calls out Trey's chucking and lack of defense. I'd love to hear people challenge burks to become a good team player. I'd love to see kanter called out for his turnovers, focus, and defense.
Folks, we have talent. But for years we've allowed them to underachieve, play with poor effort, and accept losing. "It's just one game" was the previous motto. How embarrassing!
The standards need to be raised. First thing Quin needs to do is lay down the law. Play without effort or defense? Sit your butt on the bench.
