It's not a finished product as I'm collaborating with someone this year and they haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but, I thought I'd throw it out there for some Jazz fans to hate on.
Hate away!

27 – Utah Jazz
Projected Lineup
PG – Trey Burke, Dante Exum, Ian Clark
SG – Alec Burks, Carrick Felix
SF – Gordon Hayward, Rodney Hood, Steve Novak
PF – Enes Kanter, Jeremy Evans, Trevor Booker
C – Derrick Favors, Rudy Gobert
Position Battle: Trey Burke vs. Dante Exum. IMHO Exum is the eventual starter at PG and Burke is the backup. When that happens is open for speculation. I'd guess either after the All Star break or starting next season.
Trade Block: Enes Kanter. Kanter and Favors couldn't co-exist last season under Corbin. It remains to be seen if Snyder can solve the riddle. If not, look for Kanter to be shopped. On a totally unrelated note the Jazz brought in two free agent power forwards in Booker and Novak this offseason.
Mystery Man: None other than Dante Exum. He was the biggest mystery of the draft and is the biggest mystery on the Jazz.
21, 23, 24, 22, 23
That's the ages of the projected starters. Rounding out the top 8 would be Exum, Hood, and Gobert.
19, 21, 22.
An average age of 21.875. Lets just say 22. It's kinda like the Jazz are running a team of College seniors out there. Adreian Payne (15th pick of 2014 draft) is older than the average age of the Jazz top 8; put that in your pipe and smoke it. If Corbin was still the coach he'd find a way to get 96 minutes a night out of Novak just to piss off Jazz fans. However, I don't see anyway Snyder manages to screw up the youth movement -cough- Tank -cough-. I think it's another long year for the Jazz with all that youth and they'll finish bottom of the Western Conference once again.
