I think it's likely that Exum comes off the bench to play point. I think it will help him to go against some other second units at least initially. He will to adjust to the NBA speed and strength needed. I really don't like him starting at SG. Alex or Gordon should in my opinion. One thing I hope will happen that Quin alluded to is that he is going to give minutes based on the player who not only gives the best defensive effort but the player who gives the Jazz the better chance to win. I am hoping that lights a fire under Exum's *** and he outplays Burke and takes the starter's job from him. I believe they can co-exist, but I don't think either of them are going to like it long term. Neither of them shoots well enough right now to be sharing a backcourt.
 
Well Trey is more NBA ready. Exum can't shoot. He is no shooting guard. He will be the backup point guard.
 
I have confidence in the coaches to play Exum the right amount to develop his game. He needs help. His endurance, handle, shot all need improvement.
And I think Trey is proud - so demoting him to 2nd string would be a bad idea. ESPECIALLY if you want to showcase him to the other teams in the hopes of trading him for something we need more (I wish we could trade Trey+ ? for Greek Freak).

But why start a guy (Burke), who doesn't have as high of ceiling? If anything they could play exum less minutes while starting still.

I agree with you, but I just don't see it happening.

I'd like to see Trey play well to start the season and when he's at his best, see what you can get for him. Once the trade is made then Exum becomes the starter.
