Will the Jazz Be as Bad as the Media Thinks?

The thing that was wrong with the team during the Deron era was lack of length, lack of athleticism, and lack of three point shooting.

We have all three now. Seriously, the entire starting lineup is long for it's position minus Burke. And there is nothing wrong with them. Boozer had no lateral quickness and neither of the post players had any lift. Now Favors has loads of both and Kanter, while not jumping out of the gym is solid as a rock. Hayward is eerily similar to Magic, Burks is likely the most athletic player on the team, and Burke appears to be just the guy to lead them. And there is a spattering of three point shooting on both the starting lineup and the bench.

Why not have hope?
 
I worry most about the young guys buying into the system. Now I'm not sure what Corbin's system is, but if it turns into a "got to get mine" show then we will be pretty sad. If everyone plays together it will be fun to watch and we will be better than expected.
 
The Vegas line on us is 27.5 wins. They have no motivation but to make money. I doubt we stray more than 5 games either way.
