What's new

Rank the 5 young guys

While Burke has been solid, I think it's more a result of having the worst PG play in the history of the NBA to start the season. Mediocre would seem godly compared to that.

Hayward/Burke
Favors
Kanter (although he probably still has the most upside, who knows if we'll ever see it)
Gobert/Evans/Burks
 
This.

Without him our team was a wreck. With him I think we could survive minus one of our other pieces. Small sample size aside, he's looking like the team MVP at the moment. Not that he's the best player, but that he's the glue that holds it all together.

The leader we have so sorely lacked? Me thinks so.
 
1. Hayward (swiss army knife. I expect to see his percentages rise as Burke settles in to being a good facilitator).

2. Favors (playing great right now, but needs his rim protecting grittiness to come back).

2.5 Kanter (think he has most upside, still. Wish he was given green light to shoot 3's and see if he could stretch the floor while on court w/ Favors.).

2.75 Burke (love the way heis playing, and would have him higher on listclose to Hayward if there was a bigger nba sample size of success. He looks good, and I am happy to have been wrong. His 9 ast the other night went a long way towards warming my cold heart)..



5. Burks (still has so much potential, and seems to be learning which is heartening. If he ever becomes a good shooter...).
 
How many would agree with Kanter over Favors?

So far this year I give the nod to Favors. But that could change. Kanter has a shooting touch that is very impressive. I think once he gets into the flow of the team with Trey on the floor he's going to start looking much better. In fact he looked pretty damn good last game.
