Fortunately for Burks, he’s still under contract with the Jazz for the next three years. With only 58 combined outings over the last two seasons, however, the 24-year-old’s allure has worn away and his value will likely take a hit heading into next season. Additionally, the emergence of Rodney Hood at shooting guard has likely relegated Burks to a permanent role as sixth man off the bench while Dante Exum (knee) starts at point guard and Gordon Hayward at small forward. That said, Burks could certainly flourish in that role since he’s a proven scorer who can also run the second unit. Despite multiple years of disappointment, Burks is still a viable option who can be taken during the back end of standard-sized drafts next season.
