It's a pretty decent deal for UTah to rebuild. Favors is an awesome prospect. 6ft10, only 19.... has athleticism comparable to dwight howard and amare. Has performed well when he's played but still really young/unpolished.
They are also getting Devin Harris (good player) and 2 draft picks. 1 is new jersey's pick this year which will be a top 5 or 6 pick. And consider now Utah is likely to fall out of playoffs, they'll have two top 14 picks this year and probably 2 next year. This is how OKC rebuilt (for ex.). traded Ray Allen, drafted durant and jeff green, westbrook the next year. If you draft well, you can have an excellent core the following year.
Fredette is not really a PG. I've watched him a few times. He is JJ Reddick. He can shoot, but is pretty undersized, and not a good PG/playmaker. I could be wrong,but I've seen more than a few BYU games....he's 6ft1, 4.4 assists, 3.3 turnovers. Then again it's hard to tell, cause it's mot like he has great players to pass to..
But he can shoot, and shoot quite well
Here's a mock draft website:

From what i've seen... kyrie irving will be a star. He's Chris Paul/Deron Williams-esque. As an 18 year old he walks into duke, defending champions all seniors (21/22) and became undisputed leader, passes well, scores well etc. He's only player so far I've seen who is a legitimate franchise player. Beyond that he has that Chris Paul leadership personality....
Enes Kanter is intriguing too. He killed all the american big men at Amare Camp last year. Set record with 34 points and like 14 rebounds in the game. He had contraversy and got ruled out of college bball this year, but what I saw, he can be a very good NBA player long term.
Perry Jones, they say he's 6ft11 tracy mcgrady. So far I don't see it. I always hesitate when a player can't dominate college, how will they dominate pros. Durant for ex. in one year at college had 26 points, 12 rebound a game and led a team.
I like a few other players, terrence jones, kemba walker, derrick williams but none r expected to be 'stars' just good nba players with upside.
International players will be your forte, Saber rider, if you wanna give some opinions. I hear Jonas is very intriguing prospect, but very young. Seems like he could be very good in a couple years.
