What player are you most interested in seeing?

[Marty McFly]

Burks. An athletic guy who appears to be able to hit a jumpshot? We haven't had that in a while.

Favors needs to dunk on everyone (everyone) this year and show he is unstoppable in the post. He's the future of the franchise. He's the guy I'm watching on every play.
Burks needs to show what his potential is, or if we're going to be having 'Can the AB experiment please end?' threads.
Kanter needs to show that he can rebound and finish at this level and also hit an 18' jumper, but we know what he is more or less. I don't think he's really going to dominate. It'd be nice if he can make some passes.
Hayward, we know what he is: a solid Hornacek-meets-Shane Battier complementary player; he needs to continue to develop as a facilitator, but isn't a huge deal.

My real questions are:
- Do we have a point guard?
- Does CJ Miles have another level or some consistency at his current level?
- Can Al Jefferson do what he does within a team context?
- How soon can we draft Quincy Miller, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or Harrison Barnes so that we have an imposing player at every position?

Most excited to see Burks. Most nervous to see Kanter.

My sentiment exactly. Burks could get 20-25 minutes a game to strutt his stuff, maybe more if Corbin benches Bell like he should. Kanter will be lucky to get 15 because of the logjam at the 4-5. If Kanter doesn't hit his stride early, then he could end up in D-League hell.

I think Kanter will get the Okur/Fess/Elson back-up minutes. But yeah, that might only be 15 mins., especially if Millsap continues to take minutes at PF.

I bet the Jazz get some offers for Millsap right away. He's probably the biggest trade bait from other teams' perspective. Maybe Miles too.

So who's the unlucky guy who sits behind the bench in street clothes? If we carry 13 players, somebody has to sit back there.

Elson

We still have Elson? It wouldn't entirely surprise me if we bring back Fess as a third back-up. He's a bit injurred though, isn't he?

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I want to see if Favors and Hayward can further develop chemistry together. Early last year I said I thought Hayward could be are franchise player. I can definitely see him scoring 18 to 20 per and 6 or 7 assists 6 rebounds from the sf position. He comes up big in the clutch on both sides of the ball. I loved how Hayward and Favors played off each other in the Laker game. I want to see more of that.

Bite your tongue, besides didn't he have a major injury. I don't think he is playing for anyone this year

talking about Fess

 

[JimLes]

I wanna see if Hayward can become the white Larry Bird like I want him to be.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I also most want to see what Hayward can do this year, if he's the same guy we saw at the end of last year, if he backslides, or if he's even better.

Second I want to see what Burks can do. It would rock to have a legit 2, and I want to see what he can do from 3 with real competition.

Third I want to see Favors. I want to see if he developed a go to shot in the post. I want to see him crush a few blocks into the stands. I want to see him take a nice pass from Hayward and "throw down a two handed hunk of love" as Locke would say.

Oh, the fourth thing I want to see is the Jazz dump the Locke radio thing during games and just have that lady from the Amex recording update the score after each score.
