ESPN INSIDER Lottery draft guide: Jazz must build around Favors

[Mission Accomplished]

Ceiling is a good 6th man/good backup.

That is laughable.

What is everyones problem. Burks is a good player he can do it from the bench because he doesn't need the other players to help him create his own shot.

He, Kanter, and Favors have the highest potentials on our team.

Don't sit around and assume that Corbin's rotations last year were what they should have been.

i knew it.

I cant blame you too much though since you have not had a large enough sample size of burks in the starting lineup as a number 1 one option.

At least we got a good look at gordon in that role so we know we definately cant have him in that role

Bottom line is Burks is a valuable player, and asset to any team. He is fearless, attacks the rim, and can score in a multitude of ways. Every good team needs a spark, and a team star off the bench. Burks may well be that guy, or transform into a starter.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Probably his last year on the team.

I wish that burks and kanter had played as much as hayward and favors have so far.

I like that i pretty much know who hayward and favors are as players and about what they are worth.

Burks' NBA ranks:

94th in minutes
76th in field goal attempts
64th in "adjusted field goal attempts (field goal attempts plus .44*free throw attempts)

This nonsense is posted far too much. Alec got starter minutes, and the shots of a legitimate #3.

Emmm...pretty sure fish is talking about Alecs career minutes

Alec's minutes and role in his first two seasons don't give much extra information to project his future IMO.

Yep.

What i said was that i wish burks and kanter had the same amount of minutes and opportunities as hayward and favors.

Hayward started almost every game last year and was the number one option on offense in most of them.... and he averaged, what, 36 minutes per game.

Basically it would be nice to have seen alec burks play a season averaging 36 minutes per game in the starting lineup as a number one option.

That is simply something i would have like to have seen.

I think (maybe gvc knows) burks sample size as a starter playing 36 minutes per game as the number 1 option is pretty small. (Maybe 5 games or so?)

I dont have the numbers but it seems like he did pretty well in that role for a 22 year old with very little experience, playing for a coach who some people might say was below average

If that is all you wanted to see from burks then that is great for you, congrats.

I was talking about what i wanted have seen from burks (hayward style minutes and being the number one option in the starting lineup) and what you just posted is not it.

Thanks for posting that info though anyways

 

[Doublea]

Why don't we see what he can do when starting? He looked good when the young guys finally got the green light.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I don't believe you can build around a player that isn't a scorer. Maybe in his 5th year? He'll be the first ever.

Would anyone trade Favors and the #5 for the #1 pick?
