I see Kanter has having enough athletic ability to be an average defender. He needs to learn to anticipate and rotate better. But with his offensive talent he is a good starter eventually.
Favors makes a huge difference on defense with his ability. His offense is good enough for him to start if someone else is the primary scorer.
Burks is coming into his own as a scorer. He still has significant defensive lapses but his rebounding a big plus.
Hayward, Hayward, Hayward.... I want him to be good but it just isn't happening this year. Maybe he needs Jeff Hornacek mind voodoo for him to play well.
Burke is skilled enough and quick enough to be a good player. I think if he can gain some strength he'll be able to get the free throw line- which would complete his offensive game. Defensively he will always be small.

Posters the Jazz players are open game. Just a central thread instead of all of these individual threads about players. Lets slam on them and praise them all we want here.
Like this I heard that Favors hit like 3 outside jumpers last night. Locke said that he has been shooting 25% from that range. Here is to bumping bringing up that average.
Favors has shown to be the anchor of this team. He improves the D measurably. Great rebounder and rim defender. Needs to expand his O by 3-4 moves in order to keep the D guessing. Will not be a key offensive piece. Core team piece moving forward.
Kanter has shown flashes of ability. He is great offesnively but needs to put forth more consistent effort in my opinion. Especially on D, rebounding and running the floor. Also needs to work on his BBall IQ. I'd love to see him leading the bench with Burks down the road.
Hayward is a great supporting cast player. He plays a great all around game and will excell as a 2nd or even better a 3rd option. His ability to improve others around him once he is not "the guy" will shine thru. Good BBal IQ.
Burks is elite at driving, getting to the rim and FT line. He has made dramatic strides in the last 10 or so games. I truly hope he continues. If so I'd love for him to remain the 6th man and he could be one of the best, if not the best, in the league.
Burke is the leader of this team. He has shown great poise and that he is in this to win. He has shot very poorly but I think that will improve over time. While not the quickest PG I think he is being under rated there. Solid starting PG who can hit big shots.
It has been said that Corbin is going to be evaluated mostly on player improvement and D. Well the team D has been horrendous. There has been some player development in stretches. Such as Hayward in early January and Kanter and Burks right now. Overall though I think he is not renewed and moves on after this year. Mainly becuase of the D. Fair or not he is gone.
So my view of the future means we could use a starting wing and C/PF. Embiid or Parker anyone? Gobert, Kanter and Burks dominate as a bench.

Mostly agree with Stoked. DL likely brings back Marvin to start. Really can go PF or SF in the draft and be ok, especially if that player is physical. MW (either as a 3 or 4), Burke and Hayward provide the outside shooting. Favors, surprisingly, showed some mid-range game against Boston. I hope he can add this as a consistent part of his game.
I also agree Kanter and Burks likely come off the bench next season.
Starters: Burke, Hayward, Favors, Williams, #8 pick or FA
Bench: Burks, Kanter, Neto (or FA), #23 pick, Gobert, Evans
Not a bad group. Because of their youth, might finish around .500 and miss the playoffs one more season. Or could really surprise. I'm excited at the prospect of having a new coach. Ty has had a couple of seasons to install an offense and defense and I see nothing of note. And he continues to make puzzling in-game decisions. I'm sure he's a great guy and capable assistant, but he seems out of place as a head coach.
