Alec Burks STILL not NBA ready?

[Stifle Tower]

What position did Alec play when he came in? I'd say he needs all the reps he can get if the Jazz are planning to use him some to backup Burke at PG. Plus the fact the offense will be completely different using P&R and actual plays instead of Mo/Watson/Tinsley running the "dump it in to Al, then stand around" set.

Why does it have to be hate. Corbin may possbily just not see what we see. Why does hate have to be involved at all?

I just don't get why he's playing in the summer league when he's basically penciled in as the starting 2 guard at this point. I don't think Rush is ready to play yet, and Marvin won't be, so who is going to start over Burks? Maybe that's why Corbin has him down there playing -- to get ready for a big increase in his role.

This has nothing to do with what I said. But nice pic.

It's more a comment on Corbin's lack of coaching savvy.

Fear that Richard JEfferson starts at the 3 with Hayward at the 2.

"The main thing is to get the guys we drafted and get guys like Alec and Jeremy work on the floor to get more comfortable with what we’re doing," Corbin said.

I think it's Corbin who isn't comfortable and he's been there longer than Burks.

I thought it was pretty obvious that Burks went to Orlando to give him time and see how he did at the point. Plus I think a lot of times players who are probably too good to play in SL, will sometimes play a game or two and that's it. That's kind of what I thought Alec would do.

Lance Stephenson last year. And like Alec, he dominated. I think we'll all be happy if Burks's results replicate Stephenson's.

Edit: meant this to apply to the question of how many 3rd year players go to SL.

Oh, on that I agree. Corbin has alot to learn.

How many third year players do you know of that play in the summer league?

Deron did didn't he? It seems he did but only a game or 2. It can't hurt to play in it. Especially if they think he needs a little work to convert to a PG more often and learn the offense.
