5. Will the Jazz see an All-Star player on the roster in the next 2 seasons?

Haslam : Yes-  I’m making a really bold prediction here that Hayward will make the all-star team this year.  If the Jazz are anywhere around .500 by the time the selection committee happens then I expect Hayward to have numbers similar to Paul George.

Newman : Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors and Kanter all have all-star potential.  It’s just a matter of which ones actually end up reaching that potential.

L. McDermott : Yes

R. McDermott : Yes

Anderson : Yes, someone will step up. Who? I have no idea.

I believe the Jazz have All-Star caliber players in every one of these young guys. In the next 2 seasons though, could be Hayward, Favors, or even Kanter. Trey Burke will be an All-Star, but not for awhile.
