Top 10 PGs,Mid 10 PGs,Bottom 10 PGs Where's Burke's Rank

Burke has the potential to get into the 11-15 range, but he is certainly not there yet. This year could be a career defining year. Does he rise to that role or does he fall to becoming a career back-up?
 
Maybe if Atlanta is having a middling year with no serious upside, they'll decide to cash in their assets and expirings....

If so, we could trade them Burke, Kanter, and a pick for Teague and Millsap. Maybe Kanter goes to a third team and ATL gets another pick, since they're stocked with PFs.
 
These aren't in order,but their my top 10 PG's:
DRose
KIrving
JWall
SCurry

DWill
KWalker
Rubio
TLawson
JTeague
JLin
MConley
JHoliday
JCalderone

21. GHill
22. PBeverly

24. DCollison
25.DHarris
26. BKnight

27.TBurke

28. MChalmers
29. BJennings
30. EPayton
TBurke could even be lower.The Trey Burke backers who say he will (probably) shoot better and (think)he will be faster and be a better defender this year can rate him.

Washed up HeavenHarris is better than Burke ha? Ahahahahahhaah. I can't handle myself.

Patrick Beverley is a role player/rotation guy in every team but Houston. He can play great defense but he's the worst starting pg by far offensively. He's there only because of James Haren. I don't inlude the letter D.

You remember Collison in Mavs? He was outplayed by 47 year oldMike James.... Played at sg half of his playing time.

There cannot be 9 starting pg's worse than George Hill.

This.

I'm not a Burke fan and I hate his low FG% but to me, considering his upside and the conditions he has played in, Burke is probably in the bottom of mid ten or somewhere in the uppers of the third ten at worst. And he's only going to climb up.

I'd take Burke over Chalmers, Jennings, Payton, Hill, Beverly, MCW, Collison, Harris, Knight, Calderone and maybe even some more.

you might... but not for long.
 
Burke had one of the worst offensive ratings of all starting PGs(second worst eFG) in the league last year and his defense was abysmal, too. It's really hard justifying putting him anywhere above the last 5 starting PGs in the league, and he's possibly below 5-10 of the non-starting PGs.
 
It seemed to me that Burke was very good at point the first few weeks he played, but he got progressively worse as the season wore on. (Eyeball test, not stats.) If this is true, then some would argue that it was because of opposing teams scouting him. My theory is that early on, Burke was playing by instinct, but as the season progressed his play reflected Corbin's influence. I saw the same thing happen to Kanter, where the guy was a defensive beast and a rebounding machine his rookie year, but both of those positives turned into huge negatives the longer he played for Corbin.

Trey Burke's was Corbins pick.He pushed for the trade to move up in the draft to get Burke.From day 1 Trey Burke became Corbin's PG.What rookie PG could ask for more ,the table was setup for Burke to be successful.
Corbin wasn't good for most of the young players but debaters here can't point to Coach Corbin as being a negative for Trey Burke,not his biggest backer.Trey Burke was the one that shot so poorly.It is Burke's lack of athleticism and speed that makes him a poor defender and have trouble finishing at the basket.
Most here that defend Burke use words like ...probably he will ....I think he will...he should be able too,well good, rate him as a PG so we know what all this probably,think and should mean as a PG

Beverly is an excellent perimeter defender but other than that, he is not even a PG, just an undersized SG imo. Calderon is a terrific shooter but probably one of the worst defenders in the entire NBA, not to mention his age. I don't like MCW's game at all, hate his outside shooting and turnovers. The only thing he's clearly better than Burke is his rebounding, which doesn't make it up for me.

However you guys might be right about Payton. Time will tell. I'm thinking the extra competition that Burke will be getting from Exum will benefit him this year.
