Ok, really I would say Hayward at this point. I was thinking Burks a while ago, but think Favors will reach his zenith soon. He will be awesome, but Hayward and Burks will, or can, be very very special. Favors and Kanter will be valuable big men, very important.
 
It is tough for me but I went with favors because he has the best shot at being a superstar. I not sure he will ever reach that but has the most potential.

Hayward can kind of do it all. He just will defer when others are hot. But I think we have seen pretty much what he can do. He will just get better at that. Still my fav player right now though.

Burks I can see as a pure scorer that will win a lot of games for us. I just don't see him being a super star all star yes at one point.
 
I voted Burks since the poll is about the one I find most exciting. I don't know if he'll actually be anything but a scorer, but man, what a scorer he can be! Hayward has been fantastic, and I actually think he'll be in all star conversation very soon. In fact, if he can play the entire season as he did in March, he should be close to an all star. Favors' biggest problem is his timidness. He has the potential to do great things, and I personally think he'll be a very good player. I don't know about Kanter. We haven't seen enough of him yet.
 
I voted Kanter because he honestly gets me the most excited no homo. Gotta remember his lack of PT before the season, but he can go off on Andrew Bynum, and muscle guys around a plenty. Favors probably has a better shot at being an AS but that wasn't the point of this poll.

I voted Hayward but it really is a toss up for me between him and Burks. I am highly optimistic about all 4 though.

I voted for Hayward as well, but you said it best. Hayward over the last couple of months has really impressed me. As much as I've liked that his shot is coming back and he's playing good overall offense, his defense is what has me the most excited. As far as Burks goes, I think he is going to be a star in this league as well.
 
I voted Kanter because I thinks it's with a physical player like him that the Jazz can become killers in the playoffs. It'll probably be some combination of Favors, Hayward and Burks getting all the points and highlights, but I think having a guy like Kanter, even coming off the bench, is going to be Utah's ace in the hole.
 
before the season i would have said favors by a mile. my vote is still favors, but hayward has narrowed that gap significantly. favors has absolute beastly star potential, but i expected a bigger step forward this year. (that's not all his fault -- guy seems capped at 24 minutes whenever al is playing.) hayward, on the other hand, has shown a lot of progress.
 
My vote might change if you asked me tomorrow, but today I voted Burks. He has a rare athleticism and the instinct to kill. If he becomes a decent-to-good set shooter with a respectable 3-pnt shot, then he could quickly average 20ppg.
