Bold Prediction: Alec Burks WILL have a huge breakout year.

[franklin]

Tbh franklin (and u know I love you) your overreaction in the posts quoted in this thread is the exact same as the anti-Ty/fire-Corbin crowds who incessantly post the same thing, and group mob any signs of people dissenting against their opinions.

Singularly responding to being bated and quoted out of context is the same as group mob? STFU Joebags .. lay off the drama.

Burks from day 1 > Roger Braille

Are you retarded?

Burks from day 1 > Roger Braille, Chucky Jay Miles, whatever other ****-tastic players Corbin played over him that year

2nd year Burks > Foye

3rd year Burks > Richtard Jefferson

No one is saying that Burks was worse than those players.

However, I would argue that Al + any of those players would be more effective than Al + Burks in the respective years he was in.

As far as Burks vs Foye goes, Dal's insistence that Burks and Al couldn't co-exist is way over exaggerated,

Tbh, agree to disagree. Think of Ty's offensive systems, the starting personnel, and how Burks would have been utilized as a starter.

and more importantly, isn't even relevant. All that mattered was the future of the Jazz.

Two things:

1) first of all, that might have been all that had mattered to you-- it's impossible to know precisely what the Jazz were thinking at the time
2) It's not black and white. Playing behind Millsap and Favors could have ended up expanding the games of Kanter and Favors. Literally every time they're interviewed about certain skills, or training rooks, they gush about the training that they received from their former teammates. By choosing to not give Burks lots of minutes in his first two years, or disregard starting Favors and Kanter during their first two years-- this did NOT mean that the Jazz chose to ignore the future of their franchise.

Burks was a part of that future, Foye was not. End of story. Now, I don't put all the "Foye playing over Burks" blame on Ty, KOC deserves a lot of flack for even signing him in the first place.

Umm, almost none of the blame should go on Ty. Foye suited Al better. Al was better than Burks particularly in the system set out by Ty.

tl;dr

All hale Burks, bishes.

Pretty sure I have a long-*** thread on Burks love. We just need to come to grips with the fact that he wasn't good enough to be a two-way starter, and he didn't have the particular skill-set to best play off of our two best offensive players. Plain and simple. Why did Hayward get more burn than Burks? Think about it.

You can respond without the insults, dawg. You and I both know that.

Are you retarded?

lol @ the thought of Burks starting from day one. Yeesh. I think people forget the days where he would drive away from a screen and pull up for a deep 2 like every freaking possession.

I swear to all the gods, if you sissies make franklin and GVC post less........ I will find each of you.

So..... We should all be afraid that you will stand us up on a lunch date if we bug gvc? Shakin in my boots, tbh.

lol @ the thought of Burks starting from day one.

We can agree to disagree on this. And you might be right and me wrong.

But lol at raja bell starting on anyone's team that year. I remember reading an article that showed raja to be the worst starter in the league and one of the worst players in the league.

If not Burks, then hayward should have been starting.

There are worse starters than rookie Alec burks starting for teams every year. (Jamaal tinsley was starting last year for the jazz lol)

Starting Burks in a post-centric offense would have made no sense. You can argue the strategy of keeping Jefferson around, but it would have been tarded to put a non-shooter in the starting lineup with Jefferson. Also, Burks wasn't that good his 1st year, sorry.
