Burks' role with the Jazz could be affected by the team's selection of Dante Exum with the fifth pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Analysis:

Burks spent most of the season coming off the bench but emerged as one of the primary offensive contributors for a struggling Utah team, averaging 14.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting nearly 46 percent from the field. Exum is considered one of the prizes in the 2014 draft, so it's difficult to imagine him not seeing major minutes as a rookie. While Burks may have been poised for a move into the regular starting lineup, the addition of Exum could complicate that.
