Burke overreaction retraction action gaining some traction.

Burke played better than I expected. I am not ready to anoint him as ROY but he did surprise me. I am interested to see if he gets better over the preseason.

That's big of you OG!!

Stats I have seen posted for him show him shooting a bad percentage and turning the ball over a lot.
I have heard that he has played good defense thougj

I watched about 5 minutes of the game last night and saw Schroeder turn it over twice on consecutive possessions.

Yeah, but he also walked away with 7 AST, and scored his team's game winning shot with 2 seconds to go.

Yeah, I missed that - that's great for the kid. Bet he's stoked.

Yeah, but he did end the game with 5 TO's, though. All things in perspective. Rookie PG's will struggle and show brilliance. Year 2 is really when they start to blossom.

Looks like MCW had a nice game as well. 4-8, 3-5 threes, 4 assists, 4 boards.

He made jump shots???

I had the same reaction. It's a good thing that there wasn't a Burke vs. MCW FG% line in Vegas or I'd be out big money.

I was excited about Burke's game last night and he should feel a lot better about his game.

Thing that Trey Burke did to make me encouraged...
* Hit two threes
* Hard dribble to the right baseline and hit a pulled up jumper.
* Hard dribble to the left near the free throw line and hit a jumper
* Looked like he had a good handle on the ball
* Looked like he could get into the key with ease.
* Hustled on defense and only got caught a few times under screens
* He looked way more confident than summer league
* He made some good passes, especially on the break

Things he did that discouraged me.
* First quarter the offense didn't seem like it was moving and we were settling for jumpers
* Missed a lot of chippie shots and looked worried about his shot getting rejected
* 5/14 shooting needs to improve
* He looked like he drove the lane without a plan or a bailout move. I think this is the reason he had so many field goal attempts.

We still don't really know anything. Guy hasn't even truly made his NBA debut.

I liked MCW, and he was actually my #2 choice behind Schroeder (I thought his shooting mechanics looked decent, he just didn't have enough arc and spin, which are fixable flaws). Glad to see him starting to do a little better. If he ever truly fixes his shot, and gets the ball on the string, he's going to be incredible.

Wait what?

I thought he was a bust in the summer?

After last night, I heard he was John Stockton II. Future Hall of Fame, right?

And now you claim that we know nothing about this guy???!!!

You're asking for us to wait maybe until his first real regular season NBA start before we judge?

Oh come on! That's crazy.
