He's playing in pre-season right now...appears to be 3/10 and 0/3 from 3-pts.

Burke ended up shooting 5 of 13 and scoring 14 points, with 5 assists and zero turnovers, steals or blocks in 29 minutes, while team was outscored by 7. All things considered, he still sucks.

I think Burke is waaay more suited to play in the some lesser European league or even here in Brazil than in the NBA. He knows how to free himself to shoot. Actually, trying to find a shot for himself seems to have been his only real worry since entering the NBA. But he doesn't have the athleticism or size to deal with NBA defenders. Agaist smaller or less athletic players he probably could at least shoot a better percentage. Fredette is in a somewhat similar situation, IMO, but has the advantage of being taller.
 
Didnt Burke dominate pre-season every year? I seem to remember him playing really well during preseason in his 2nd or 3rd year.
 
In other news my mom thinks I'm the most handsome man ever.
 
I defended Burke until the end. I wanted him to be the star he was in college. Still think he is a solid back up, but looking back the 2013 draft stings.

To know we could have added McCollum, Antetokounmpo, or even Schröder (He was my pick) hurts. At least we got Rudy.
 
Things like this make me cringe.

I wished him luck when he was traded to wizard. now, his mom is trying to make jazz fans hate him lol
 
Bad form for Benji to say this. Not a classy move. Makes me wonder how his son stayed professional during a tough situation.
 
I imagine a fully involved DL and Quin would have gone a different route in the 2013 draft. I can't remember if KOC was still involved but I do remember ty pushing for Trey. Unfortunately I was all about Trey pre draft

KOC did the 2012 draft. DL did the 2013 draft. Still I would temper any criticism by saying, DL was steering the ship, but it wasn't his boat. DL was operating with the established order of Jazz scouting and evaluation. He made several changes to the scouting program after that. So to complete the analogy : since 2013 DL has built his own boat and steers it any way he wants.
 
In the game the other day Exum looked like straight trash. Spin it however you want, Say it was because of injury and hey it might of been but botomline is he looked like complete garbag. Neto should not even be playing in the nba. I have seen better Point guards in college last year.
