This ^

He wants to start. He has the talent to do so. He will leave if the Jazz don't figure out how to get him into the starting lineup. You'd think it would be easy to see how well it would work, you know, with a season where winning and losing doesn't really matter much.

no he doesnt like it.

he will start on a team.

he has talent.

he is better than hayward and hayward starts.
 
JR Burke is just feeding their run with all these quick shots. Why does he keep trying to bank those shots? They're always off.

Not better than Hayward. He is a better scorer than Hayward and can take advantage of bad defenses. All those things point towards an excellent 6th man.
 
Why are we always being picked apart by never getting back? I get that Corbin is stupid enough to not figure this out. But you'd think our backcourt would eventually get tired of these cherry pickets and get back. Sigh
 
I agree that Trey needs to stop taking a one handed tear drop banker. What are the odds that shot goes in. I bet he's shooting under 30% on that shot.

But when I came into the league, I did think I was gonna be a starter."

And when asked if he feels like he's ready to start on a nightly basis, the ever-confident Burks didn't back down from the question.

"I feel like I am," he said. "I'm a lot more mature than I was — I was 19 when I came in (to the NBA) — and I feel like I'm a lot better player now so I feel like I am."

"That's what I come into the NBA every year to do — start," Burks said. "So I'm not going to set my goals any lower. I want to start."

Just because he's willing to be the spark off the bench doesn't mean that he's happy with that role. It just means that he's a professional who is willing to put his team above himself. If anything, that fact makes me hope he becomes a legit, starting #1option even more.

Beating best team in the NBA, complains that our rookie PG is trying to take bank shots.

Alec Burks has double our starting PG's assists today.

Typical of yourself, celebrating a minor short term gain while ignoring the long term health of the team. We all know our 1 pt lead isn't going to last. The Packers are goin to take us out. And JR Burke isn't playing good point guard ball. We need a distributor not a chucker from the PG spot
