All we need from Trey Burke....

[Cappy_Smurf]

He'll be fine as a backup for 15 mpg. Anything more and I wish him well on his new team.

Is to stop shooting and start passing, and shift your focus and energy from the offensive end to the defensive end

... practice defense with your Mom. She's really good defensively.

the blue one nailed it ..

all we need from Trey burke is getting himself traded

 

[NUMBERICA]

Anyone could diagnose his problem: he is a shameless chucker. He has court vision but closes his eyes. He is a much better player if he is simply less selfish as a basketball player.

To defend Trey: I do feel like he got the ball with <5 seconds on the shot clock ALOT. A lot of it resulting from playing with guys like Ingles/Millsap/Johnson/Booker who really couldn't make their own shots..

Counterpoint: He spends way too much time just holding/dribbling the ball which caused some of the late shot clocks.

My hope is that the return of Burks takes possessions away from Burke and he realizes we have enough playmakers that he doesn't need to force as much.

That's rather rosy. As a former Burke homer I can see it. I just haven't seen enough of that. I know he can get better and think he should be better. But he'd better start to figure it out because the Jazz shouldn't have a hard time replacing his his contribution to date.

Burke is going to be much better. Jazzfanz will move on to hating someone new next season. I vote that the hate gets turned back to Exum early in the season since there is a good chance Burke outplays him to start the season and he still defers a fair amount to the better offensive players on this team.

I vote you shut your face. Some people must really hate winning games. You'd rather watch Burke do his Iverson impression while we lose than win with Exum's defense.

When Burke said that Iverson is his idol just after he got drafted I didn't think he would be stupid enough to actually try to play like him. Totally different physically and athletically.
