1-11

Here's a crazy stat I haven't seen referenced yet:

Burke is 1-23 in his last 23 shots. He missed his last 4 shots of the Brooklyn game, there's the 1-11 that started this thread, and then he went 0-8 last game. That has to be some kind of record.
 
1st how can I be wrong when I have not presented a case at all?

2nd you are providing an incomplete agrument because you aren't sticking to the parameters that you original set out to debunk.

We can all agree Burke has shot the ball terribly so far in his career. Nobody is disagreeing with that at all. Cy has just offered up a potential reason. You have tried to discredit that reasoning, but IMO have failed to address the OP.
 
Well, to look at this stat from another perspective, why is Trey who has the worse shooting percentage on the team taking those shots? If he has the ball in his hands, he should be creating a shot for someone with a better percentage. That is what a good PG does.

1st this is assuming Trey doesn't have the best shooting percentage in those situation.

However this is true. Clearly Burke has some significant flaws to his game otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. However he's a second year player. This is something that he can feel out. Given his skill set leaving Michigan making those plays were what made Trey special. Not sure why he's not making those plays far more than he is. The question then becomes is this something that's correctable. I say given he's done so at a high level competition I think it's an easy yes.

Okay, let me take away those 2 seconds you're hoping will salvage the situation.

Removing all shots taken in the last 6 seconds + all the buzzer beaters:

(0.155/0.834)*0.352+ (0.448/0.834)*0.386+(0.109/0.834)*0.378+(0.113/0.834)*0.419+(0.008/0.834)*0.571 =

38.2 FG%

There, happy? He still sucks. Argument done.

My argument was never about Trey shooting the ball well. It's was with the fallacies in your opposition.
 
I loved the play where he decided to challenge his and Favors' man on a pick while Favors stood wide open for that 15 footer he loves. Not really though. He missed of course.
