Does Burks deserve to be a starter yet?

[Crawlnstall]

Burks has been playing better and better, it's great to see his confidence grow. Am I the only one that thinks he should be starting in games? I know the bench needs a scorer, but I'd really like to see what kind of damage he could do starting. If anything for just a few games. Thoughts?

All the Core5 perform better when they are in the starting lineup

I was just about to post something similar. Put him in at SG, move Hayward to the 3, and send Jefferson to Milwaukee for a bag of chips.

Well now that Randy Foye is no longer on the team - yes he deserves to start.

With Hayward playing as inefficiently as he is right now, might be a good idea to move Alec to the start to try and relieve some of the burden on Gordon. Plus, Alec plays a lot better with Trey next to him.

Our bench would be dead in the water if we did that though.

He's been playing a lot of minutes. Should he start? Yes. Does the coaching staff feel they need a scorer off the bench? They seem to. I don't know if that's right or wrong; but he's getting his time.

Burks has really been the most improved of our young guys. Especially with starting the season not so great. It looks like he's gotten better BBIQ with passing and choosing to shoot. He probably should have had 7 more points, when he missed those two layups and that wide open 3.

He just understood that he always to attack the rim. It seems to me that his shooting didn't improve.

He probably stays 6th man forever. Jazz are kinda stubborn.

No, he still hasn't paid his dues. Jefferson and Williams have been in the league a lot longer. The young 'uns need to learn to follow the example of the veterans who know how to play hard. Let Burks continue to make meal runs until he's at least 30.
