28. Utah Jazz (Trey Burke & Dante Exum)

The Utah Jazz have no shortage of potential in a young and talented backcourt. Trey Burke was the 2013 National Player of the Year, Alec Burks was impressive in 2013-14 and Dante Exum was a Top 5 pick in a deep 2014 NBA draft.

Burks averaged 14.0 points in 2013-14 and improved his jump shot to the point of reliability from distance. Burke struggled at times as a rookie, but played better than his shooting percentages suggest he did.

Exum hasn’t played a game in the NBA, but he’s 6’6″ and can handle the rock like a point guard. This trio could be very good, very quickly.

Could be.
