why so many of you giving up on Burke? He is our future PG, period!

I'm never quite sure what Core4 means when he says Ty threw Kanter under the bus.

Also, this obsession with physical tools is ridiculous. Kanter has decent footwork and touch, and has shown he can grab offensive boards. His feel for the game is terrible. Burke, on the other hand, is a basketball player. His improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 at Michigan is evidence that he knows what he should be working on to improve his game (this also applies to his team's improvement over the same time period). Kanter has shown that he can improve his pecs and abs, and post pics on instagram.

He had only 1 post move coming to league and that was Up and Under. To say he did not improve his game is absurd.

Let's see...blaming him for the 1-14 start by benching him. Why not see what the team can do once you replace JLIII and Tinsley with some NBA-quality PG's (or at least close to NBA-quality)? Then the Jazz FO and Locke keep piling on by repeating the "1 for X as starter stat" without even ATTEMPTING to mitigate by acknowledging ANY team is weaker when they lose a starter.

Instead, why not call out Hayward for his 39%/29% shooting during the same period. Jefferson shot under 40% in November. But not once did we hear the Jazz are losing because of those guys. Instead, it was all put on Kanter. Ty needed a scapegoat and he chose Enes.

1. Given how much more effective lineups featuring Favors-Marvin or Kanter-Evans were than lineups featuring Favors-Kanter, even if you include Burke in those lineups and/or only consider games after Burke returned from injury, the simplest explanation for Kanter's move to the bench is that it gave the Jazz a better chance to win games. Corbin is not obligated to stick with certain lineups because some fans or media members might say or think things that could hurt his players' feelings.

2. Ty is not responsible for what Locke says. You should probably also consider the possibility that what Locke says makes sense, and the Favors-Kanter simply wasn't working and that Kanter wasn't ready to compete against NBA starters.

I look forward to seeing the strides Burke makes this year from last. I have been tough on him - especially during his bad games. But his improvements will show us what he's really made of. We all know what he needed to improve on (lateral quickness, inside game, etc.) and I'm hoping he has worked hard.

Might not happen but moving up and having a guy like Parker or Wiggins would definitely make Burke's life easier.
