I just read this in a Forrest Gump voice.
Would you say that would accurately describe you when you're drunk?

McDaniels, sorry bout that.
I'd play Exum ahead of Trey.
Exum
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Kanter
Trey off the bench will give him a chance to really show what he can do. He was dominated night in and night out by starting PGs and many back up PGs.

He'll had already been drafted by 23.

I'd start Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter, and have Exum come off the bench. I'd tell Burke, Burks, Exum that it's an open competition for the 1/2 spots. That means, come Christmas time, I'd take the two that were playing the best and start them. If it's Burke and Burks, then they get the PG/SG spots. If it's Burke (PG) and Exum (SG) then I'd start those two. If it's Exum (PG) and Burks (SG), then it's those two.
Let the vets (ha ha) get the starting job to start with, make Exum beat someone out. BUT, give him big minutes, with both players, and see what happens.
Makes all three players compete, shows you what you have in Burke and Burks as starters, makes Exum compete, and let's the cream rise to the top. If your starters end up being Burke and Exum, then you know what Burks is worth as well.
Nope.
A tornado is a more apt comparison
Rodney Hood measured at 6'7.25 without shoes which translates to about 6'8.25 or 6'8.50 with shoes on.
Jabari always looked taller than him, so is he pushing 6'9 - 6'10?
Maybe you missed the part about Burke getting destroyed on a nightly basis.
Burke plays atrocious defense. If the head of your team doesn't/can't defend his man then every other player is left helping and suddenly the other team is getting easy baskets.
Exum has ELITE size for a PG and he's very quick on his feet. He'd fair much better against starting PGs.

Did you get this from the official listing or was the is product of the now famous Fabtrey eye test?

Then he will beat Burke out and be starting by Christmas. No biggie. Was there anyone that played any sort of decent defense on the Jazz last year? Uh....nope. Burks was just as terrible. Let's get a new coach in here before we start writing people off.
Start Burke and Burks. Bring Exum in with 4 mins in the first Q left. Run Exum and Burks. 8 mins left in the 2nd, run Burke and Exum.
I'd love to draft Exum and play him at the point. Exum, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, and Favors is one really big starting line up, not to mention a big back court. Sorta reminds me of the wizard's line up. I'd bring Burke off the bench, probably make some trades at the deadline for some solid vets.
that's official number. and i was pretty much right on all of them except gordon who i thought was 6ft 7 ish.
The great thing about all of this is we can make an argument for any of the top-7 players. Any one of those players is going to make a rotation >>> better, whether it's the bigs, the wings or at PG. And then the Jazz get to select again at #23 for what should be a solid backup.
Great observation.

more like horrible observation.
parker is definitely not anything more than 6ft 8. i have him at 6ft 7 to 6ft 7 1/2 range. jabari has a fro too.
this is much better picture than hood/parker pic above.
maybe he grew, but if he was 6ft 8 barefoot then why not list him at 6ft 9?
