Also, the one where Anthony Davis attempts to guard him on perimeter. Lol.I look forward to a whole season of moments like the one where he destroyed Kobe on the 3 point line and drove in for the basket.

Return of AB10 >>> Healthy Exum
Burks was on the right track his last month even with the shoulder injury.

Dante's last month in about the same minutes.

Thank you for reminding me of what we missed when Burks got injured last year. He has the potential to become one of the best finishers in the game. I still don't view him as a perfect fit in the starting lineup because: 1) he doesn't provide the 3-pt shooting that Hood does, although that might turn out to be less important depending on who the starting PG is now that Exum is injured, 2) Burks & Hayward are both most affective with the ball in their hands, & 3) Burks has the capability of singlehandedly running the second unit offense. Even if he never becomes more than our long-term sixth man, he will likely be more than worth the contract extension that he received. If he is ever able to become a consistently above average defender & 3-pt shooter, his contract could turn out to be one of the bigger bargains in the NBA. I still have some questions regarding his fit within our offensive & defensive systems, but his ability to attack the rim alone makes him an extremely valuable asset to this team. It will be very interesting to see how he returns & the impact that it has on the team during this upcoming season & beyond.

Wow so Burks compares favorably to an 18 year old rookie? Great, but that should be a given. To bad the positive comparison for him only works on one end of the floor.Return of AB10 >>> Healthy Exum

People are always referencing Alec's 3 PT shooting. Do you not realize that he was our best 3pt shooter last year, hitting 38.2% at 2.7 a game. His catch and shoot #'s were especially high. His FG% was down because his injured shoulder inhibited from lifting itabove his head while finishing. Thankfully, we KNOW he is a fantastic finisher.
His areas of concern are: 1. Over-dribbling/not seeing the pass to be made. 2. Off-ball defense.
When it comes to on-ball defense, he's actually pretty legit. Couple that with his 6'6"/ 6'10" wingspan, good lateral quickness, a team who has bought into the mantra that defense wins, and half a year of watching how to defend, and I think we'll see an improved effort on that end.
