Alec Burks: 2013 - 2014 Season Mix

[Thee Jazz Fan]

It has improved.....but he does still need to improve it a bit more.

Seems like he works hard each off season and adds new facets to his game each year.

I'm excited to see what improvements he made this summer. (Hopefully it's mainly his defense)

It's improved, but it's not something he uses as a weapon on a consistent basis probably because he doesn't seem to be very good at creating separation to get off a good shot, and relies too heavily on driving. Basically relies too much on that and not enough on his midrange game. That's my point.

This is true.
I think the 2 main reasons he doesn't shoot alot of mid range shots are
1.Why take a mid range shot when he can get to the rim easily
2. His form on his jumper isn't the best and he doesn't elevate very high on his jumper which makes it easy to block (like you said.... he doesn't get enough separation, which he needs due to the way he shoots his jumpshot)

Hopefully his mid range game will become a weapon this season

Man I love his game!!!

MIP and sixth man of the year?

Have they ever given 6th man of the year to a starter? That would be effing awesome!

I had not seen that one yet. Thanks baby Peterzzz

Burks is a bad ***

better than brickward.

Reading this stupid assed, CJ-Milesesque love **** makes me want Burks traded, and the Jazz sold to a city without their heads up their asses.

I'm definitely not a Burks homer, but I am very intrigued by what he and Exum might be able to do together in a couple of years.

Ok now you can make fun of me. But I do see lots of resemblence in some parts of his game. If he could have a good mid range or three. Killer. And now Exum is racing near him. Jazz cutters are killer.

I watched so many games with my old man last year, and towards the end of the season when Burks was in full-fledged killer mode I kept trying to stop myself from saying he resembled MJ on his takes to the hoop because it seemed too ridiculous. But, seriously, I don't think the rest of the league's fans understand what Burks is capable of. Some of it is truly unstoppable.

Dude I have been saying this since we drafted him! You are not alone in this.

He was the Colorado Bulldog. He is now the Wizard of Jazz.

I was since saying that he had the most potential and the highest ceiling in the roster. Still believe that.

The Wizard of Jazz.

I love it!
Someone needs to make a Burks t-shirt with that slogan on it

Only if he develops the rest of his offensive game, and competes on defense like Jordan did.

Burks relies too heavily on driving. Before long defenders will pick up on it.

He's been in the league 3 years. I wonder how much longer "before long" will be.

This last year was his first year of getting heavy minutes
