I think you mean to say: Those 3 are all playing.
Burks isn't playing so there is in fact no way for him to be playing better than hayward, foye, and marvin.
The point was that ty needs to find some minutes for burks on a REGULAR basis and find out if he deserves minutes in the rotation...... After giving him regular minutes in say maybe 10 games in a row and burks struggles badly the whole time, then keep him on the bench and jazzfanz would stop complaining.
Until burks gets a legitimate chance to prove himself (similar to the chances that marvin, foye, and hayward get) i will continue to complain about his lack of minutes.
Hayward continues to shoot a horrible %.... its ok keeps getting his minutes.
Foye has an 0-7 game and continues to chuck.... its ok keeps getting his minutes. (and they actually increased after his 0-7 performance)
Marvin is invisible on the court 2 out of every 3 games..... its ok keeps getting his minutes.
Burks gets in the game once every 3 or 4 games for between 2 and 6 minutes and he struggles a bit..... bench him and never play him again!
I see your logic now kennykyle and it makes complete sense.
Sooooo everyone else has to earn their minutes but Burks gets them handed to him because he is younger and he might do better, maybe, possibly.
I mean all 3 of them are playing better than Burks, not all 3 of them are playing, but all three of them are playing better than Burks, just like I originally typed it.
Burks is not playing a lot but he is shooting 20% from the field, 0% from 3, and 20% from the line. His D is not stellar, he tries hard but he isn't a good defender yet, gets lost off the ball all the time ( yes I go out of my way to watch him and him only when he comes into the game ) So you tell me how Alec has played in his limited minutes? Would not very good at all be appropriate? Or would terribly be appropriate? I'm sure if he got 25 min a game his stats would go up, he would probably shoot a little better, he would get to the line a few times but I mean he is shooting 20% so thats kind of a waste, he'd get beat on D pretty often but hell he has potential and is athletic so even though he isnt helping on offense either we can let that slide. I think maybe Ty is seeing stuff in practice that leads him to believe that Marvin, Gordon, and Foye are all better players right now, and you know what? He'd be right, they are all better players than Burks. So yeah I would love to see Burks get 10-15 minutes a game but I'd rather see the best player play. I'm sure thats Ty's train of thought also.
Hayward does everything better than Burks except get to the line, but Burks is shooting
20% from the line so who cares
Foye has been money lately so shut up with that stupid *** argument that he had one pretty bad shooting night. He is shooting 42.6% from 3, thats pretty good. Burks ... 0%
Marvin is shooting 47% this year thats not life changing but its pretty good, he is also a far superior defender who can guard 2 or 3 positions. Sure he dissapears on offense but who he plays solid D all the time.
Burks gets in every once in awhile and shoots 20% from the field, 0% from 3, and 20% from the line all the while being just a decent defender. But yeah lets sit one of these other guys. Carrol is alreay sitting, he was the only one who is not as good as Burks and Ty has benched him.
I want Burks to play, I just want him to play well enough to earn it. Thats all.
