Is Trey the Answer?

That depends on what the question is.

The question is to the Jazz draft or bring in another point guard other than Neto?
No he is not "the answer", but he dman sure is part of the answer.
Very few players are "the answer". I'd put Jordan, James, Bryant, Shaq...and other similar level players in their primes as "the answer". Other wise it is a collection of players.

Meh. All the things listed there can be fixed.
I thought he played pretty damn well for a struggling team with a lame duck coach.
Sure he hit the rookie wall, but the kid will continue to get better.
We don't need him to be a top 3 pg in the nba. He doesn't have to be a hall of fame superstar, just needs to be in the good/solid to great range.
Not saying he WILL BE the long term answer. But I am saying he sure could be. And I'm comfortable with that...if he keeps getting better.

Not if the question is, "should your PG be able to shoot a decent percentage the entire game?"
If the question is, "does Trey occasionally come up big in the 4th quarter of games in which he hasn't shot the Jazz OUT of contention by hitting just 30% for the first three quarters?," then the answer is Yes.
In all seriousness, we won't know until next year. It is true rookie PG's struggle, perhaps moreso than any other position. Let's give him another year before deciding he has to be replaced. Of course if the Jazz draft Exum or Smart and we have a Green/Stockton situation, then Trey becomes "Treydable."

If Exum or Smart were available and DL thought they were the best player available, then you pick them anyway. Point guard is probably the most important position on the team and if one is big enough, then you can even play 2 together and have better playmaking potential.

Is he?
I don't see why not.
I don't see why not.
Until he turned 22 a couple weeks ago, I could have argued Kyrie Erving was a better 21 year old PG.

Pg is not most important on the team. They don't even need to be great. Look at the heat, Lakers. Most important is superstar. If that is the pg.. Fine, but we had a pretty damned good pg in D-Will, and we only made conference finals once.
