Whose Minutes Will Burks Get?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I like Alec, but he is a below avg passer for a 2. Makes the obvious passes, but has little creativity. Far below Boris, Jingles, Hayward.

No, he's not. He was pretty good last year before he went down. I remember some pretty clutch passes in some 4th quarters in close games last year.

I hope one of Alec's New Years resolutions is to stay off the ground more.

Can we just transplant Mack's floater into Burks? That would help.

Just thinking, how long will it take for Alec to hit the ground after a drive? Will he make it through this game? I seriously think this is one of the keys to Alec having a decent, or at least decently long career. He needs to modify his game.

He's our Russell Westbrook.

Yeah, Alec is pretty much a badass. He's fearless out there and so aggressive. God I love his game when he's on. Is there anyone that loves basketball more than Alec?

Locke: Alec Burks has been cleared to play

I'm actually a big Dante Exum fan, but I realize that his development is going to be a long-term process. If he wants minutes, he needs to take them and play well in his opportunities. Assertiveness is a skill that can be developed. He's shown more of that over the past two seasons. . . I'd like to see more. This team has possibly the deepest roster in the league and is built to win now. I'm perfectly fine with him having to earn his playing time, and think he'll be better in the long run for it. Plus, I'm still convinced that the Jazz have the best developmental coaching staff in the league. He's shown improvement and will continue to do so. Not giving up on him yet, but I'm glad the Jazz don't have to rely on him at the moment.

With everyone healthy, I think he needs to spend some time in the D-league. I just don't see anything but a few garbage minutes otherwise. Quin is going to have a hard time finding minutes for everyone.

I'm so happy... Please dear god let Alec look healthy out there.

I agree here... Dante to the D League... I hope he wrecks it down there and gets some confidence.

I at the very least feel certain that the jazz didn't rush him back. I expect him to look healthy.

they will probably bring him along slowly, but he's one guy who doesn't need it. dude could go 40 tonight.

probably couldnt. No way he could play 40 minutes, not possible for his conditioning to be at that level.

Burks does look like he's in damn good shape tho. Looked fast and quick to me.
