All-rookie 1st team, averaging 14 PPG, 4.2 APG, and 3.5 RPG. Yeah he is ineffecient. Last 5 games he is averaging 20 PPG, 3.4 APG, and 4.2 RPG, he is meant to be a SG. Burke is the better point guard, but Knight is the better prospect overall.

Brandon Knight is a combo. He's an okay playmaker and an okay shooter. However a pure PG can transform a team--the way Steve Nash did when he replaced Stephon Marbury in Phoenix. A real floor-general PG is what this Jazz team needs more than a scoring combo.
 
Nothing about Trey Burke's performance today really affected my opinion that he'd be a good mid 1st-round pick for Utah. Really a tale of 2 halves for him - in the first half Indiana was successful in funneling him away from the screen directly into their help defense. In the 2nd-half they did the same thing but Oladipo was unable to keep Burke from getting to his spots. Burke was able to change direction on Oladipo and get back to the screen where he hit a couple pull-ups jumpers, got down on the baseline and kicked to the corner, and then iirc he went right - dribble-veered on Zeller and pulled-up for a floater. Still like him as a "right-fit PG" - not a star but a good PG on good team type player.
