Bye Bye Burke

I guess we will disagree on this one. Because if you are going to say "It was a huge...mistake", the fault absolutely falls square on the shoulders of Lindsey. He was the GM, he was in charge of scouting, Intel, draft preparation, roster building, everything. If he gets credit for discovering Gobert he gets the blame for whiffing on Trey Burke. He shuffled a bunch of assets around to get one decent player.

It was a good move, it just didnt work out. It was a mistake, but it was a mistake I can't fault him for trying. It seemed good at the time, Burke just never learned teh NBA game.

I saw this as well and was hoping the majority here would wish him well, I know he fell out of favor and didn't seem to fit with the style Quin wants but I always thought he could be a good back PG and I hope he finds his role as Wall's back up and plays well (except against the Jazz), I also never fully understood some of the dislike or hate he received and hope he is cheered on his return.

I think the hate for him was that he played so selfishly, at times, shooting ridiculous shots, not passing on 3-1 fast breaks and blowing the conversion, and playing matador defense, or none at all. We didn't hate him as a person but for the attitude he demonstrated in the games he played.

It was a bad draft to need a PG that's for sure.

Exactly. Can't tell you how many times I screamed at the TV as I saw him ignore a wide-open teammate to go 1-on-3 into the lane. Or dribble the shot clock away and launch up a contested three. Who does he think he is, Joe Johnson lite?
 
Best of luck to Trey.

Interesting that the Wiz immediately thereafter signed 6-7 PG/SG Satoransky from Europe. Wonder if they have in mind to play the two together off bench, or if this means Trey is once again 3rd string?
 
Trey Burke On/Off Statistics

2015-2016:
ORtg On: 104.5
ORtg Off: 107.0
On - Off: -2.5

DRtg On: 105.7
DRtg Off: 103.5
On - Off: +2.2 (higher DRtg is bad)

-4.8 worse per 100 possessions when he was on the court.
 
I think I saw a tweet somewhere that said Burke had the worst FG% of all players that had as many shots as he did in his first 3 years.
