For anyone wondering why Alec played 12 minutes last night...

Plays like a *******. Gifted and special in some ways, but nothing can compensate for bad decisions.

Honestly, how can AN NBA player not know that contested, long 2s off the dribble (and not at the end of the shot clock) aren't good shots? Or not have any idea what a screen is for or how to use them?

This.

Low BBIQ does not a superstar make...or even a solid role player.
 
Alec Burks doesn't do anything great. He's a good driver to the basket, but that's about it. He's a lousy shooter, mediocre defender, and has a low basketball IQ. I hope he proves me wrong and breaks out, but I'm just not seeing it.
 
He has been regressing too. He doesn't even do what he is good at anymore, which is get to the basket and get foul calls.

I thought he would learn and get better. He has some pretty good tools to start with. Must not work hard. Probably thought he was the **** already.

Or he just is, you know, dumb.
 
Never saw the star potential in Burks that many claimed they saw (don't deny it now bishes) but I definitely didn't see him as an NBA flame out, which he seems to be on his way to becoming.
 
holy $&@$&balls you guys are awesome.1 for 17 and Hayward is a God. Favors is the king of disappearing yet he is amazing. Yet, Burks and Kanter who have a year less in the league they are the one under a microscope. It is called developing our young all of our young players. Favors and Hayward are hardly wowing out on the court. They get way more minutes and haven't blown me away.
