No. He's better suited coming off the bench. Both Hayward and Hood need to have ball in hand to be affective. Adding Burke, who needs to dominate the ball as well is too much. Burke is better utilized off the bench to handle the ball and added scoring punch off the bench. Look at last year. Burke was a complete 100% train reck in the starting lineup. He was much better immediately being moved to the bench.
I actually see Neto as being a very good backup pg in the years to come for Utah. He can play in this league. Let's not forget how good he was yesterday. In his limited minutes. He played more limited minutes but think in the long run he's better then Burke. Not hating on Burke. I've been happy with his play, but his ceiling is more limited then Neto's in my view due to Burke being more of a sg in a 6-0 body with limited athletic abuilities he's a career backup second unit guy with some scoring pop. I agree and support Quinn's choice to start Neto.
Second this lolololol
Statements like this are so bunk man. Both players have entire careers ahead of them. Both have had good starts, in different environments. Hayward actually looked better defensively tonight, and he's easily the better passer. George is the better scorer, as of this point.
Let them both play out their careers and we can compare later. If Favors can overtake offensive option #1 status on this team in his 6th season (something no one saw coming) then it should teach us that the jury is still out on these young kids.
First people who aren't "hating" don't have to mention that they aren't hating.
What does Burke doing last year have to do with this year? He has done a great job making plays for other this season. Neto handicaps the offense because teams don't have to really defend him. Burke was given point guard duties the last two games with extend mins and has 13 assist and 3 turnovers. Neto should be playing with Burks. His inability to create space hurts Burks far less than Favors and Hayward.
Saying Burke needs the ball is a conplete contradiction to the stats. Somebody in the Burke>Schroder thread made an argument that Burke was really a 2 guard because he was shooting so well from 3 in catch and shoot situations. That in of itself goes to show you he doesn't have the dominant the ball to be effective.
Lawd have mercy.
People saying Hayward is better than George. The homer is strong in here.

You've found quite possibly the worst way to compare two players.Hayward holding those W's on George.
I agree they fit. Are we a better team with George? If you're saying no you are delusional.

PG has been part of waaaay better teams than Hayward so I do not know.
Hayward on Pacers with his versatility could be Steve Nash like...very scary.
Yes, PG is a better scorer, absolutely.
Every other dimension I like Gtime.
Yeah, nothing less important than head-to-head matchups that determine outcomes of games. I mean, why did Hayward even guard PG in OT? Both should have just taken uncontested 3's, then we crown the winner of the shooting contest the better player, regardless of the outcome of the game.
