Should Alec Burks be the Jazz future PG?

I feel you either have an elite PG or don't play any that can't shoot the lights out. I hate watching subpar lead guards pound the ball, throw up a call, pass it off, and step back to watch it all unfold. I'd rather replace a less than stellar PG with another 2 or 3 on the floor. I could go on, but I'm irritating myself.

I still think there is importance in having a player who can really push tempo and get into the lane. I know Burks is good at getting into the lane, but he just isn't as quick as these 6'3 and under players are.
 
What Cyrone said. A PG is a mentality--directing the offense, setting up plays, pushing the ball. A team normally needs a real PG, a game-manager type.

I don't disagree with that, obviously, my point is what if you have one that is not very good at those things? Then you may as well just put another 6'8 guy on the floor that can make plays .. rather than a much smaller guy that can't. Just saying sometimes we try to hard to find someone on a team to play a certain role when that person doesn't exist .. then you improvise.
