Dante Exum is still largely untested, but George Hill is the answer to that.

as are many players

But were the Jazz to flop, it would be risky for him to stay in Utah.

Could be stupid to give him max money if he can't get you to the playoffs still really.

The offense has to be connected to the defense. Good defense has to lead to good offense.

Which is the main reason why Dante has to prove he can play offensively. They certainly have some guys that are questionable on the defensive side too so I don't see how Mack and Exum can be ruled out either.

Skill-wise, he will be an enormous step up from recent Jazz point guards.

other than the 3 and D I'd say Mack and Neto are more skilled

Holdovers like Raul Neto and Shelvin Mack played too many minutes last year but should be more able to contribute because of it this year, too.

If Mack had been on the team all year they probably take at least 5th

Throw in a healthy Exum and Burks and you now run 11 or 12 deep on this roster, and actually have more of a problem finding minutes for all of the talent at Quin Snyder's disposal.

I'd say they have 13 rotation caliber players with Exum's status pending until I actually see it on the court.

I don't think we were skipping steps by any means."

Getting rid of Burke last year and replacing him with a vet would have been skipping steps?

The Jazz should absolutely prioritize finding ways for Favors to get these kinds of to-the-hoop touches.

agreed but he has to be able to hit a shot out there too if the roll isn't there.
