Would you look at that, driving to the basket opens things up for himself and others! Who would have thought!

And people are nervous about Alec coming back. lol

Still waiting for Alec to cure his tunnel vision when driving. I saw signs this year, but I'll need more than just signs to be convinced. That said I don't think him coming back hurts this team in the least.

Absolutely love that Joe said "about ****ing time" after the reverse layup.

Thank you.I spent more time than I want to admit trying to figure out what Joe was saying. ****ing australians.

Fwiw, Burks averaged 3.3 assists per game per 36 minutes this year.

Exum averages 3.9 per 36.

Burks is definitely not a PG. He's an undersized SG. I guess the same could be said for Burke though.

Burks had the ball in his hands far more often than Exum does.

Burks is also a shooting guard who is asked to score.
Exum is a point guard who only passes and never shoots

Exum plays off the ball more than with it in his hands. Hayward, Ingles, Hood, and Trey all are asked to play more as a PG on offense than Exum has been. Also add Burks (when healthy) to the list of guys being asked to handle the ball more often while on the floor than Exum has so far. I think after that last game it should and will change a bit. But up till this point in the season Exum was an afterthought as a ball handler on offense.
.
So no I don't think Exum has been playing as a PG on offense even if he has technically been playing that spot.

Burks is NOT undersized for SG and in fact is big enough to play some minutes at SF if needed. And I believe he has in the past.

Burks is 6'6". Same height as MJ and Kobe. I'd say more like prototypical sized SG.

When he learns to really use his speed, look out!! His potential is still so high. I'm so excited for his future here in Utah!! I really think he takes a big step forward next year
