I wasn't that high on Burke. I would like to have said I was crazy about any players in that draft but I wasn't. I was intrigued with Schroeder and Giannis. I probably would have picked both of those guys over Burke simply because I wasn't a big fan of Burke.

Who do think you are, Orangello?

The feel for the game, understanding how to control/dictate tempo, etc. Not sure why you didn't include my last sentence in the quote considering it answered the question for you.

You don't include a "feel for the game" and "controlling/ dictating tempo" as "point guard attributes"?



I asked you to blow my mind and blow it you did.

Not if Corbin felt that the team was sabotaging him and so he insisted that the Jazz get the guy he wanted. If felt (from watching the games) that Burke was the only young guy that Corbin was willing to give time to as a rookie.

Perhaps attributes was wrong word choice. I was originally alluding to being able to dribble and pass.

I think the Jazz are going to be patient with all three PGs they have. Burke still has to prove he can shoot in the NBA and his defense needs work. Exum needs to improve his jumpshot and his conditioning/body. Neto needs to get stronger and improve his jumpshot. I think the Jazz will see if Exum can be a starting PG in the league and if Burke wants too much money or his shooting doesn't improve then they move him or let him go. Exum steps in to start and Neto is brought over to be the backup. There is no need to rush the decision since no one is a setting themselves apart from the other two. I like Neto a lot and to say the Jazz aren't interested in him is ridiculous because they wouldn't have drafted him.

I wasn't that high on Burke. I would like to have said I was crazy about any players in that draft but I wasn't. I was intrigued with Schroeder and Giannas. I probably would have picked both of those guys over Burke simply because I wasn't a big fan of Burke. However, I am not as down on Burke as most Jazz fans seem to be. I don't care who eventually starts as long as one of these guys shows they are an obvious NBA starter.

I was thinking the Jazz would trade back and take Schroeder, then select Gobert with their 2nd pick. At least I got one of those right! Like you, I wasn't real high on Burke. But he was certainly worth the risk as the Jazz still ended up with the other two players they wanted (Gobert and Neto). I think Trey will be a low-end starter or a solid sub.

I agree...no need to rush. Exum is 1-2 years away from starting. I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Burke starting for the next 1 1/2 years before a trade is pursued. It's nice to see Neto improving. He wasn't all that good in SL 2 years ago. But now he's showing flashes.
