4. Who will lead the Jazz in steals this season?
Haslam – Burks- Alec is quick with his hands and has the ability to surprise the guy with the ball regularly.
R. McDermott –  Trey Burke.
L. McDermott – I think this is going to come down between Trey Burke and Alec Burks. I’ll give the edge to Alec though as I think he’s going to impress people with his defense this year.
Newman – I’m think Alec Burks.  He’s quick and has great hands.  Alec has the ability to get into passing lanes and I think we’ll see a lot of that this year.
Anderson – Trey Burke. He’s a crafty and pesky defender with a lot to prove and young legs/young recklessness.
Powers – Alec Burks. Per 48 minutes, Burks has the best stats of any Jazz player in steals. He is quick with his feet and with his hands. Playing starter minutes this season will boost his confidence and we could see Burks have a fantastic year.
