Who has a better chance at winning ROY Kanter or Burks?

[NAOS]

I'll be happy if either makes a serious impact before the all-star break. (if you can't tell, I'm strongly implying that neither will win the ROY).

Burks because he has a better opportunity to get minutes.

Raja's going to get his minutes. Sad but almost certainly true.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Well of course neither of them will probably win, but the question is which person has the better chance. Stop being negative nancys.

Raja's going to get his minutes. Sad but almost certainly true.

Oh God please no. If it were Sloan coaching, I'd be certain of it, but maybe Corbin will be different.

I'd be thrilled if Smell didn't get his sorry arse off the bench more than 5 minutes a game. He well and truly sucks.

Burks because he has a better opportunity to get minutes. With all due respect to Gordon Hayward, the reality is the 2/3 positions are wide open.

Kanter will probably spend most of the year coming off the bench and I suspect he will be crushed by the rookie wall. I don't care how great an athlete he is supposed to be; the 82 game schedule (assuming no lockout) is a marathon that no one can run if they haven't been playing competitively as long as Kanter has.

Excellent points. Bigs usually take longer to develop as well.

Burks can get as many minutes as he's ready for. If he plays amazing, Jazz can easily start him at SG and Hayward moves/stays at SF. I don't see the same with Kanter. He won't start over Jefferson. He won't get as many minutes as Favors.

 

[Brown Notes]

Burks is much more likely to get serious minutes than Kanter. The Jazz are way thinner at the wing. Still I guess he only gets @20 MPG which is not enough for ROY.

IMO Jimmer and Walker have the best chances of taking it. If DWill was anywhere but Minny I'd back him.

imho rubio will be the roy. neither burks nor kanter will get 25+ mpg in their rookie season.
