Utah has drafted a collection of interesting prospects who have each shown distinct elements of potential. Isaiah Collier has been impressive assisting the ball. Brice Sensabaugh has shown flashes of high-level scoring. Kyle Filipowski has shown a lot of skill for a 7-footer and Cody Williams has shown some nice two-way potential. But potential is all these players have shown, and potential doesn\u2019t mean anything if they don\u2019t eventually have a winning impact on the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That brings us to this week\u2019s question. Of those players, who will have the biggest impact this upcoming season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA.
