I'm fairly certain that Burke will be leading the team in shots taken. He's also going to not have that great of percentage (I'm thinking around 35% for both 2's and 3's). Rookie point guards don't usually score effectively to well, Chris Paul was just barely above 40% in his rookie year. Now what do you guys think of this? I don't really care, I'd like him to get his confidence and learn to make a little better shot selection. It probably won't help us win to much though (Good thing?). If he's going to lead this team he's going to have to take shots and make plays.
 
Ummmm. I've been saying this since summer league. He is a shooter. He dominates the ball. It's ok. Besides, we don't have anyone else that can shoot.

So our best shooter goes 5-17? Oh good hell we really do suck.

I'd like to see less shots by Burke and have him getting more assists to our great big men, making the right passes. I think right now he is still in the mindset of how he played in Michigan where he was the leader, taking most of the shots.

Where's this option?
 
I've already seen a few passes coming off the P&R and that behind the shoulder flip to Favors last night makes me think this kid sees the court differently than most players. Realistically I think he's more of a 7-8 APG guy instead of 10-12 APG; but I like what I've seen so far.
 
once he understands the NBA game a little better he will even out. by the end of the season i expect about 14-15 fga (40% would put him at 5.5-6 makes per game), and 5-6 apg.

I think i'd be happy with that ~ 12ppg and 6apg.

That would be pretty solid.
 
This team will be better off if he learns to make others around him better. Good hell he's a 6ft pg that isn't that explosive, and he's a shoot first guy, which is why I was upset when we traded for him. The only way he becomes a good to great starting pg is if he passes the ball, and only shoots when he has to or is wide open.

The only way he is worth the 9th damn pick is if he learns to dish out 10 assists a game. He needs to take to heart what he learned from Stockton, be a playmaker, and cold blooded assassin when the team needs it.
