Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said those qualities make the two first-round draft picks a perfect fit in Utah, especially as they join players still upset about missing the playoffs last season and a coach about to embark on his first full year in charge.
"I see a little attitude and a little frustration from all of us in that we want to be able to make it right and be building in the right direction," O'Connor said.
The 6-11 Kanter and 6-6 Burks give the Jazz size and toughness, not to mention more youth. Both are 19, which means four players 21 or younger could figure in the Jazz rotation next season.
