I think he's better coming off the bench but I don't say that because I don't think he can handle starting, I just think we need to be able to give that punch to the mouth to the other team. He def needs minutes when he's producing though. Also, Corbin is an idiot.

How will we ever know if he never starts. Didn't he average 19/5/5 while Hayward was out...

I think you got the wrong idea of Hero ball and actually making isolation plays that result in scoring +and 1's

I only meant hero ball in the sense that Corbin put the ball in his hands and said get it done.

Burks seems like he has an ability that is lacking in that starting unit.

Of course the bench would suck but **** it

I'm really liking Burks right now, and desperately want to see him start. I think RJ is good enough to be the third option off the bench with Kanter as the second option. With Hayward and Burks starting, whoever is playing worse of Burks and Hayward, that person comes out at the 7minute mark and then comes back at the 10 minute mark to play with the second unit and finishes he quarter. Maybe I'm dreaming, but to me this seems like a good idea.

Agree. If Corbin wasn't so rigid in thinking he has to play a slumping Hayward 38 mins and Jefferson 31, maybe Burks, who clearly DESERVES 30+ would get them. I don't mind Burks coming off the bench. He can really take over against opposing 2md units. But he should be getting more playing time.

Too many double negatives confused me. Still don't see it really. You like him better on the bench because he can do more damage?

He's doing that to starting line ups too, so why not start him.

hahahaha suck it and suffer (in silence) the upcoming period of mediocre-Jazz.

If Burks is the best player on the team, and right now I believe he is, him not getting the most minutes is perplexing and yet one of many Ty's failings as a head coach.

 

[DutchJazzer]

Burks has made the last 10 points I believe. He has 25 points on 10 shots (60% fg) 13/14 free throws. In 22mins. There are no reasons why he shouldn't be getting 33-36 minutes consistently.

actually there is, we need to develop jefferson and secure jeffersons future.


VET POWER!

Im fast becoming a fan of Alec, put together nice games of late. Hope Favors is ok might help the tank even though its in flames at the moment

 

[Revolution 9]

That dunk by Burks at the end of the game was the best of his career. NASTY!
