What's new

It's happening bros...

THat was his game at A&M. His off-ball game is something he developed in the NBA.

Burke averaged 50% from the field in college. Things change when you hit the big stage.
 
But seriously, Ariza and Brewer on the wings is a killer defensive combo. It's actually why I've been so big on Oubre and getting more length on the wings. Watch some Rockets games and you will see what I am talking about.
I'd rather try to nab Bruno Caboclo from the Raptors. Think he's got some great potential. There have been a lot of chatter about deals for Kanter, but my favorite one so far has the Jazz giving Toronto Kanter and taking back Caboclo, Nogieria and Hansboro's expiring contract. This gives the Jazz a young wing/big to add depth, and Raptors get Kanter to add some front court offensive boost and some tax relief.

Then you just use the cash/cap saved by moving Kanter to add a FA and take the best player you can get your hands on in the draft. It's a swing for the fences move, but the Jazz were reportedly very interested in Bruno in the draft.

Burke still does the same stuff he did in college without really adjusting, taking pull up mid-range shots.

Middleton adjusted and added something different to his game which will allow him to start to show his off the dribble game.

Different scenarios. Middleton accepted he had to learn how to do the basic things that a role player does, now he is ready to expand his game.
 
Lots of tweets:

The Milwaukee Bucks are known to be among the teams that have interest, in part because coach Jason Kidd has had a front-row seat to some of Kanter's best games in the past two seasons. He averaged 19.5 points and nine rebounds in two games against Kidd's Brooklyn Nets last season, then finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds in Utah's lone game against the Bucks this season. Kidd, it's safe to say, took notice and would love to add him to his group that has been such a pleasant surprise this season (30-23). USA Today Sports


Jody Genessy: No specifics on Enes Kanter, but what I'm hearing around the league is that a trade is unlikely to happen. Subject to change, of course. Twitter @DJJazzyJody

Good point-- I just don't know of too many players who have played for a couple years as an off-ball shooter before learning how to create offense, put the ball on the floor, and adopt a mid-range game in the NBA. I don't see Khris becoming Paul George anytime soon.

Oddly enough, Burke makes 43% (about 5% above league average) of his midrange shots from 16-23ft, but is well below average from every other distance lol
 
Wow.. just saw that Middleton is shooting 42% from 3's... is he known for being a good shooter?


I'm intrigued.

Doesn't matter if you're only capitalizing on 1.3 of them a game.

Imagine if Korver was shooting 80% from 3, but only attempting 1 a game.

Middleton needs to increase his three-point attempts. Alec Burks was almost at 40% from 3 this year-- did anyone care? No, because he was only nailing one of them a game.

He's got a nice quick release as well. I'm on the Middleton bandwagon but not sure if his cost this offseason will be worth it to US.
