I get it. I felt the same way going into tonight's game. Sitting from the sixth row changed my mind about Trey Burke though. Watching him on TV and watching him up close are two completely different experiences. Same thing goes for Enes Kanter, which I will get back to. Basically, on TV Trey looks like garbage, but when you watch him up close you can clearly see he plays really, really hard and is mentally tough as nails. I am back on the Trey Burke bandwagon so long as he can reign in his game a bit and play within himself.
Enes on the other hand is the complete opposite. On TV the last few games I was becoming a fan. Pulls some real interesting moves once in awhile. But sitting a few rows away from him gave me some new insights into his personality. Dude is lacking confidence. Seems real shook up. Based on an extremely limited sample, I came away with this conclusion about Enes: Dude needs to be told he is doing a good job constantly. He really needs praise. Early in the game he missed some shots and got a few foul calls against him and you could clearly see he was frustrated. Began to press. Then when he went to the bench he looked very mopey. Really handles criticism and negative feedback poorly. I came away a little more concerned about Enes. I realized his battles are in his head. Could go either way for him going forward if he isn't handled properly.

But he hasn't been able to shoot for 1 1/2 years.

Is this some sort of new knowledge? PKM told us about Enes' charakter and personality a long time ago and it's not like it's something you can't see. I would be concerned with Enes if Corbin was still the coach but with Dr. Q I am not concerned at all. He is showing growth under Quin and that is what matters.
As for Trey, a player that shoots 36/30 and more often than not has the most FGA of the team has to be a)very confident or b)lacks any kind of self assessment.
Maybe it's just me but I take the the talented kid with confidence issues over a player with reality issues.
I was a huge Burke supporter as well. He was clutch in college and appeared to be an actual PG who could control the offense. My main problem is he takes too many ill-advised shots and isn't improving. I think a lot hinges on how hard Burke works off the court. If he strives to improve (such as Steve Nash) and works harder than everybody else he'll play better. But as it stands he's not consistent enough.

He is too busy flashing his dong and making fun of people to actually work on his game. He is a entitled bum.
Trey will get better, and has never been that bad. I wouldn't give up on him yet. If he was coming off the bench I think Jazzfanz would like him a lot more.
