Burks, Favors, Hayward, Kanter--which youngster are you most excited about? Which one are you most looking forward to see develop? Which one will be the best player when all is said and done? Etc.
 
I voted Hayward but it really is a toss up for me between him and Burks. I am highly optimistic about all 4 though.
 
Favors because I feel like we are only seeing the tip of the iceburg. I feel like with Hayward we have seen what he is going to be, with Favors there is a lot that hasn't been seen.
 
I love the potential of Hayward, and how he can affect a game. Their are so many ways he can attack, getting to the foul line creating for his teammates, slashing, his one man fast break, rebounding, and his shot is coming around, and he plays solid defense, and has a high motor. This is only his second season, and first full season getting big minutes. It boggles the mind how good he could be 3 or 4 years when Hayward hits his prime.
 
I voted burks, but as others have said i think that hayward, favors, and burks will all be VERY good and kanter will be a good player too.
This is about as excited i have ever been for the jazz future and i love all 4 of our young guys.
 
I dont make alot of money and have never bought season tickets before but i am probably going to buy season tickets next year for the first time.
The Future Four are the reason why.

Well, he has no trouble getting to the rim, which is huge, but his touch is terrible right now, and that's not something that's easily improved. If his hands develop (he's still young), look out.
 
I voted Favors, but I really like the promise of both Burks and Hayward.

It won't be popular, but I'm just not sure yet on Kanter. I see his best case scenario is as a Charles Oakley type career. He will have a long career and be a solid contributor, but I'm not sure he'll ever be more than a 10 point 8-10 rebound physical player. That is very solid, but not a star. However, I see star potential in all three others.

I posted the poll because I realized a few weeks back that I myself couldn't pick between Burks, Favor, and Hayward. I'm also excited about Kanter--he's played MUCH better this year than I expected due to his youth/time off--but not quite as excited as for the other three. I think any one of them could be an All Star.

Kanter just hasnt shown that wow factor the other 3 have.

He gets the job done at times, but i dont really see him doing something jaw dropping very often in his career.

However, I think he will be that quintessential piece every championship team has --- that annoying physical defender that not only gets in your head, but grabs every rebound in sight, and quietly and efficiently adds in 10-14 pts a game.

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 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.
