July 12 jazz game in vegas

Dont understand how people are making new assumptions about Burke based off a summer league game when we saw him for 50+ games last season.....

LOL. And how did he shoot in the 70 NBA games he played in last year?
Please feel free to look up actual statistics.

What impressed me most about Gobert is he is in much better shape. He would get winded quickly last year. This game he was ready to go 40 min. or more.

as i said before, if exum will start, it will be instead of burke and not burks

if a guard has bad handles, then he is not a PG.

Would you say Magic had good handle coming into the league????

Yup.



Small sample size & it's Summer League, but when Burke went out and Exum was able to create, I think the Jazz scored something like 8 straight points in 4 possessions.



The guy just has a knack for creating chances, and making things happen.

But he wasnt very good in those 50+ games last season......

Lolwut?
Magic was a proven commodity coming into the league.
He was versatile as noone has ever been
and
referencing him in a talk about Exum is a serious diss on him.

Unless that guard has great vision, passing and playmaking ability. He should be on the ball at point unless the opposing guard is pressuring the ball. In any situation where they are pushing the ball in transition, you definitely want the ball in his hands.

I did not think this kid had bad handles. In fact, I thought they were very good. A little loose at times but something he could clearly work out imo.

Yeah this.



Dude's like a chemistry possessor with the ball, you definitely want the ball in his hands as much as you possibly can. Imagine a mix between Rubio and Derick Rose, to me that's his ceiling right now and he has a high floor already too.

His handles are loose and he palms/carries the ball alot. Luckily refs dont call that infraction much though
