Jazz rookies get shafted on nba.com's rookie ladder

IMO Kemba will be the most impressive out the gate. Just throwing that out there. Weird that only Jazz fans are loving on Burks but it should be obvious that Kanter isn't going to have a huge start.
 
How is Klay Thompson going to get minutes in the rotation of Monte and Curry? I can see him getting about 10 to maybe 15 minutes a game but that will not be nearly enough to make an impact.

Pretty easily. Curry is the PG, Ellis plays SG. Thompson can sub in at 2 or the 3. He will be able to get just as many, if not more, minutes than Burks this year.
 
I understand why....

Utah is loaded with bigs, so Kanter may have a hard time getting off the bench, and he is somewhat a mystery.

With Burks, he was drafted outside the top ten and everyone in the NBA knows the jazz have a reputation to not play rookies many minutes at the start of the season.
 
Right now this list means exactly dick. And no, Kanter does not deserve to be anywhere near the top 10, and realistically neither does Burks.
