Who is going to be the leader(s) of the Jazz?

Burke is the leader. Exum is vocal too and will be a leader as well.

It'll be those two for sure. Hayward is not a leader. Neither is Favors, Kanter or Burks.

Burke.

He wants it, he is the most vocal.

I disagree with this.

Well, some of it. Burke wants it and acts like it but I dont really consider him vocal. His on court demeanor is what makes me think he'll be the leader of this team...leading through action and not words.

Edited to add:

Many of the greats lead or led through this manner. It will be quite a while, if it ever happens, that Burke will be considered great but so far, I like what I see from him. There's a silent discipline and confidence with this kid.

This whole leader thing is such a weird concept to me.......
You can lead by example. Like Duncan
You can be more vocal and loud and get in peoples faces.
You can pull people aside and teach one on one or get on the same page.

I've seen all of them on the Spurs. Sometimes they are silent sometimes they are vocal.

I don't think we need to worry about this. The right ones will step up. I believe in Snyder and the process. Our young guys seem great.

I agree about Burke. Burks is the one guy has the game of an alpha dog, a killer instinct and toughness of a leader. Whether is or can be a vocal leader, I'm not sure, but in terms of game and attitude on the court, he's the guy.

I see Burks as literally the last person on the team to be the leader, which is ok. Not everyone is a leader.

I think showing up at the draft and grabbing Exum for a picture together... along with talking openly about them playing together even though they could be said to play the same position was huge in terms of leadership.

I think Trey is stepping up as a leader, and those of you who are predicting a quick trade to get him out of the way may be disappointed.

I agree that our young guys seem great. This is a solid bunch of individuals for sure.

But...the Spurs have a HOF coach that commands respect. They are also a veteran team. And Tim Duncan was a All-Star in his first season and had the benefit of the Admiral who was also a great leader. This is a completely different scenario. We have a rookie head coach and by far the youngest team in the NBA(especially if Williams doesn't return). Don't you think the Jazz should be active about helping the process along through mentoring or bringing in some veterans? Once there is discord it becomes too late. Just playing devils advocate...
 
The Spurs coach was not a HOF coach when he started. He didn't have respect right off the bat.

Snyder demands respect in the same way. People listen when he talks. Leaders will develop over time. Lebron was not a leader coming out. Neither was Jordan. It came with time.

I am not worried about it.

Pop was the Spurs general manager and VP of operations for three years before naming himself head coach in 1997 and he had the Admiral and Avery Johnson already on the team to go with Tim Duncan in his first year. Slightly different situation.

Saying so is one thing giving reasons is another. Please do so.

BIG-ALs main MAN Enes Kanter can take the burden to lead this team into play-offs next season. I hope AL gave Kanter some of his wisdom, that will make Kanter unstoppable.
