The difference is that Stockton was playing behind a really good PG. Trey would be sitting behind a D-league guy and a total scrub in Lucas.
.
Green had things he could teach Stockton while he was watching him. What can Lucas and Garrett teach Trey by watching them play? Not much.

they can teach a tremendous amount, and it is a very simple lesson. 'what ever i see lucas do, do the opposite'
Great idea. Think of all he could learn by watching Lucas and thinking to himself, "There's something else I shouldn't do." Then again, we've all seen where his mind goes when he's stuck on the bench:
On second thought, I wonder what sort of things I would have been caught doing with my face if someone videoed me watching JL III for hour after hour after hour.
There are other point guards in the games. Tony Parker for instance.

I have never seen anyone that focused before. He is practicing to become the next Michael Jordan, srsly.
Just hope he is not as "focused" as this kid.

I think the best thing is that it cant really get worse once burke comes back. If we had had this start with burke, the blame and pressure on him would have been intense. Instead, we were able to blame tinsley and jl.

Trey Burke looks more like Jacque Vaughn than John Stockton.
I'm not even sure he will be able to create for himself or others. He appeared in the summer league and preseason to merely bounce off defenders and never actually created anything (like Vaughn).
So whatever. Watching film might help. But I fear his lack of size and athleticism will negate all the hours of studying the game.

I hope you're on to something here, but it concerns me that Burke seems to be having a serious problem emulating that Jordan tongue action. An invisible defender seems to be pushing his tongue baseline when he ought to be letting that licker of his take over the middle of the floor. I guess it's pretty fortunate that he has so much time on the sidelines to practice.I have never seen anyone that focused before. He is practicing to become the next Michael Jordan, srsly.

Frankly (and I really hate to say this) that dude in your final photo looks like he's a lot closer to emulating the Jordan tongue action than our rookie point guard is.
