Is Trey the Answer?

No he is not "the answer", but he dman sure is part of the answer.

Very few players are "the answer". I'd put Jordan, James, Bryant, Shaq...and other similar level players in their primes as "the answer". Other wise it is a collection of players.
 
Meh. All the things listed there can be fixed.
I thought he played pretty damn well for a struggling team with a lame duck coach.
Sure he hit the rookie wall, but the kid will continue to get better.
We don't need him to be a top 3 pg in the nba. He doesn't have to be a hall of fame superstar, just needs to be in the good/solid to great range.
Not saying he WILL BE the long term answer. But I am saying he sure could be. And I'm comfortable with that...if he keeps getting better.
 
Not if the question is, "should your PG be able to shoot a decent percentage the entire game?"
If the question is, "does Trey occasionally come up big in the 4th quarter of games in which he hasn't shot the Jazz OUT of contention by hitting just 30% for the first three quarters?," then the answer is Yes.

In all seriousness, we won't know until next year. It is true rookie PG's struggle, perhaps moreso than any other position. Let's give him another year before deciding he has to be replaced. Of course if the Jazz draft Exum or Smart and we have a Green/Stockton situation, then Trey becomes "Treydable."
 
If Exum or Smart were available and DL thought they were the best player available, then you pick them anyway. Point guard is probably the most important position on the team and if one is big enough, then you can even play 2 together and have better playmaking potential.
 
Is he?

Pg is not most important on the team. They don't even need to be great. Look at the heat, Lakers. Most important is superstar. If that is the pg.. Fine, but we had a pretty damned good pg in D-Will, and we only made conference finals once.
 
I think he is definitely a quality(top 1/3) PG in his prime if not better. Corbin offense was just awful. The majority of games when Trey was actually allowed to play the position he looked special. He had some what of a shooting slump, but there were a lot of things that factored into that. The main things were the finger injury and Corbin poor offense putting him in a poor position to take bad shots late in the shot clock. His defense is the biggest area of need and despite some legit huddles with his shooting % that has to increase obviously as well with shot selection, and again I think the poor system was equally responsible as Trey was in forcing him to take poor shots.

Is Kobe that great? Did he ever do anything without Shaq and Gasol?

Until he turned 22 a couple weeks ago, I could have argued Kyrie Erving was a better 21 year old PG.

Kyrie is showing that he's been very much over-hyped.

But here is something note-worthy.....Michael Carter Williams is older than Kyrie Irving.
 
Why even bother wondering about this right now? I thought Trey had a fantastic year given the dysfunction of this season. I thought he had an even more impressive rookie season than Deron did. I saw absolutely nothing from this season that makes me want to push the panic button on Trey.

Agreed. I am very optimistic about Trey. Sure there are part sof his game to work on but Ithink he will be great for Utah. Also nice to have that calmness under pressure already.
 
After last summers Summers League games, we were all scarred to death he wasn't even an NBA player. Yes, he hit the wall, yes, his shooting percentage sucked. I was just glad that he can play in the league and be productive. DL said something interesting in his interview yesterday. He said Trey played at 195 and dropped 10 pounds and he was able to separate better after losing the weight. I think that Trey is a hard worker and will work hard this off season. I think next year, Trey will be at a good weight and he will improve on his shooting and shot selection. I would be shocked if he wasn't our starting pg next year.
 
I'm probably more against Trey than most posters here. His two biggest deficiencies happen to be two of the major ways I evaluate the quality of the player: defensive ability; the physicality and athleticism on offense to put the defense on its heels. The evidence against him in these categories is pretty substantial.

I think he'll end up a decent-to-good player, but he's gotta speed things up and get waaaaay more efficient.
