Hayward says he thinks the game has slowed down for Exum and his body is much stronger

Lyles was star lighted during summer league and shined

Quietly Burks has been working to prove he's ready ...for what

Is Favors ready to explode into the talent he's always had,but never quite putting it together

Hayward finally having his team mates mature so he can play without all the burden and play free

Can Hood step it up to the next level

Gobert,start from day 1 and show NBA nation you are "The Man" on the NBA's best defense

Who's going to be the surprise where Jazz fans say I told you so ?
 
Exum is my guy. Not at lot to go on and not a lot on his side right now but I'm a believer. Give it 10-15 games and I think he starts to get comfortable and a real factor off the bench.
 
Exum will take the next step.
Lyles will continue his climb and is our best prospect going forward.
Bolomboy won't necessarily kick *** in training camp, but as the season progresses, he will turn in impressive performances during garbage time, very impressive performances during his D-League assignments, and by season's end, climb his way into the end of the rotation.
 
Exum, Lyles and Hood all take large to solid steps forward.

Burks stays the same.

Gobert, Favors, Neto and Hayward see small improvement.
 
I've got lots of hope for Hood. I think he can be an All-Star who averages an efficient 23ppg. (probably not this year).
I'm looking for Lyles to make a big improvement all around, but especially on defense. It sounds like his body is in good shape.
I'm still on the low-expectation model for Exum. If we see some tenaciousness on offense, and his defense gets back to where it was, then I'll find ways to make myself pretty happy about that.
I think Favors benefits from the offseason changes more than anyone. A competent, floor-spreading PG and a third big who's a legit outside threat equals more space and better timing for Trans DF Express. I'm looking forward to a big year from him.
Now that Hayward has more help in the backcourt, I'm interested to see where and how he picks his spots to make an impact. Will he be able to selectively get into zones where he takes over games? Or will his peak moments be more random than that? I may not be wording this very well (too early), but I think this is a major question for the year.

Rudy can just keep being Rudy. If he adds some offense, then great. He's probably my favorite NBA player.
 
I know, I know, everybody has seen this 10000x times and yes Summer League but this is the last we have saw from Exum. Plus more time picking up NBA lifestyle, watching film, and gaining muscle in the gym. I like Exum. His defense speaks for itself, his passing ability I think is always overlooked and of course the real question is if he can take the next step offensively. He has the tools to really blow by nearly anyone.

You might want to visit a cryogenic lab and come back in 3 years then.
 
Hayward takes a big step to all star territory. Averages close to 25/5/5.
Call me insane but I think it finally happens.

I'll take the under on that 100 out of a 100 times. Not because I don't think he CAN but because there is only one ball and a lot of talent around him. He won't get enough touches to hit that number.

Only 10 players in the last 5 years have hit 25 PPG and these players play ~37-38 minutes per game with usages 31-32%
