Not much to say on it.

Just watch the way he plays. He's got all the attributes to be amazing. His ability to finish at the rim is incredible.

Yep
Been saying this since he came in the league.

Give him minutes and opportunities and he will get to all star level
 
In that first pre-season game he missed a left handed lay up (there was some contract from the defender) after making a great move...... I was shocked that he missed. (So was alec. He was still shaking his head about it a few plays later)

It was a pretty tough shot that alot of players would struggle to make yet I was surprised he missed and so was he.

He has alot of confidence and I have alot of confidence in him

I would be very surprised if that's what he was actually shaking his head about a few plays later. I agree that his ability at the rim is incredible. Hopefully he also has the ability to forget about the last play and focus on the current one as well. I think he does.
 
Burks will lead the team in scoring this year.

I'm predicting 18PPG on 45%/35%

Hayward will be at about 16PPG, 5 APG, 5 RPG
 
I think everybody who has watched the Jazz regularly can see what a talent he is. He will consistently be able to get double digit points because of how well he can draw fouls. After scrimmage and one game it does seem like he is a little stronger which would be huge to his game. But, he is going to need to take and hit a lot more 3's to have anywhere near a breakout and MIP season.
 
15/3/3 in 31 mpg, 2.4 tov

3 point shooters are going to take a lot of points away from primary ball handlers.
 
The worst thing about Burks:
how every highlight of his is tainted with Boler's "Houdini!" business. Speaking of taint, what kind of chronic disease do you think Boler has been sitting on?
 
Burks, my favorite player in the roster. Lucky to have him here, we've got something special brewing with him just you wait...
