The jazz offense seems like it could use a player who can break down the defense and get in the paint

Gobert gets mugged on every rebound.
I think the jazz really do get screwed by the refs more than any other team

I thought I was in the gamethread
 
another game, another stint shooting 50% from the field by Burke. Schröder shoots 30%.
 
If Trey keeps this going he'll have a long career as a solid backup. Amazing what playing within your limitations / strengths does.

if he keeps playing like this, he won't be a backup. Find me a list of 3rd year PGs with Burke's numbers that didn't end up starting elsewhere. It's quite insane what he's managed to do these first 10 games of the season-- I guess it shows you the power of prayer ;) #BJB
 
It also begs the question of whether Burke will continue to come off the bench. He seems to be playing well with everyone out there, really. I guess it depends on Raul's development. If he can at least carve an Exum-esque role from last year, Burke will continue to be our stud off the bench with Alec.

It doesn't seem to me that he is playing much differently. He is simply making shots now

The biggest change I've noticed is that he'll often get into the paint, and hold his dribble before gunning for a lay-up. This hesitation kinda stalls the opposing defense, and it usually either frees up a big man, or opens a lane for Burke to hit a floater or a lay-up. Otherwise, you're right. He's still driving to the hoop similarly (but way, way quicker). And his three point shots are taken similarly

Ya he has added little tweaks to his game (better on defense imo) but honestly every player looks allot better when they make shots.
Before this year his shooting percentages were really bad and he was not getting many assists so I hated on him.
This year his shooting percentages are incredible (still not getting assists) and I'm loving him. Sometimes it really is just as simple as shots going in or not.

Until the other trey on the team starts to shoot a good percentage I will probably continue to dislike his game too
