Alec Burks: 4 years 42 million

[Saint Cy of JFC]

A more apt question is, how often have they cut the deficit we inevitably have by the time they check in back to even by halftime? In all seriousness though, i just think we need to play our best players more minutes. Burks getting 27 minutes isn't maximizing him. Either play him more or get him into the starting lineup -- and then play him more.

With Burks showing a willingness and ability to shoot/make 3's, I would say it might be time to start him. The worst thing about playing Burks as the 6th man and having him finish games is that it makes substitution patterns more complicated.

Ya this
It's amazing that an improved alec burks is playing less now than he was 2 years ago under corbin

Yeah, Burks definitely deserves more playing time.

Hope he ****s up Wade tonight.

Burks contract isn't the best in the league but it's still a good contract. Plus he WANTS to be here.
Has anyone ever heard him complain about his minutes or usage in his career? The dude has a level head and is a team player

I for one would like to see Burks start, he's been terrific.

Burks is the best player in the NBA according to Boler haha

There are only 2 players on the Jazz getting 33 mpg. Gobert (33.4) and Hayward (33.7). That's it. Favors (30.0) is only getting 2.6 mpg more than Burks (27.4)

So by your definition only 2 starters are getting starter minutes. Favors, Neto and Hood are not.

Burks is getting more MPG than the starting 2, Hood (26.7 mpg).

If you want more MPG for Burks then I'd say let's run more triple wing and less Neto. Give Neto time to learn how to shoot.

I'm going to be pedantic because I was just looking at his stats. Favors is averaging 35 per game outside of the flu games.

Who would've thought burks would be our best 3pt shooter.....

Yea Burks is killing it. His 3 pt % is amazing right now. It will come down some. Only critique there is the volume. 2 per game average. I'd like to see him increase that to 3.5 - 4 3s per game average.
