Jazz will try Burks at the point during summer league

I love the idea of Burks at the point. I remember them mentioning this at the time they drafted him too. I really hope this pans out.
 
I hope more PG play helps him develop the "I don't need to attack then react; rather, the opposite" mindset. Was probably my main qualm with Burks in his rookie-play this season.

I would love to see Harris and Millsap/or Jefferson traded before the beginning of next year. Maybe if we get another wing, and Burks plays point, (or backup point) the young guns will get more playing time next year.

This suggests that the Jazz are not going to try to acquire a new point guard at least for now.

I am not sure it suggests that. I really like the idea. If Burks could become serviceable at PG, it opens up a lot of versatility with the potential to exploit matchups.

Of course, there is the possibility that he becomes a star there... That would be awesome, but I think it is more likely that they are trying to change his mindset to more of a team approach.
 
I made a thread about this months ago as a good idea. Mold him into a Westbrook role. But I think he could be a better passer.

I am not sure either, but just speculating. Harris was serviceable enough last year(by no means am I saying the Jazz do not need a new point guard), and helped get them into the playoffs with his 3 point spree the last month of the season. With that and KOC saying yesterday that he is not going to make a move for just the short term, it gives me the feeling that the cautious Jazz front office is willing to wait a little longer before they get their point guard of the future.
