NBA.com Rookie Ladder: Trey Burke moves up to #2

[candrew]

If Burke has a good run the last 10-12 games I can see him getting some serious ROY consideration. I may be subjecting MCW to guilt by association; but I would question any recognition of achievement from any player on the Sixers team this season - that franchise has taken the tank to a whole new level.

This is one thing that bugs me when I read a lot of ROY rankings. I see Burke get hit alot for Utah's record and yet I see nothing of the sort for MCW and the Sixers have a worse record.

I'd like to see trey with the ball in his hands a little more. I'm not seeing the playmaking ability that I believe he should have. That said, really glad we have him and can't wait to see him Ina real offense next season.

Assuming we have a new coach.

Well if I was pro MCW I would point out that there is just no talent on that team. Where as Burke is surrounded by lots of potential and talented young players

And I'd counter that at least a third of his MPG's are garbage time. Easy to rack up stats when both teams are just playing to get the game over with.

MCW is putting up good numbers because he's playing a lot of minutes on a really crappy team.

Yeah, he's averaging 6 apg, but he's also averaging 4 turnovers a game. Shooting under 40% from the field, under 30% from 3, and under 70% from the line. He is not efficient.

I think he's got a lot of potential, but I agree that his stats show a textbook "putting up good stats on a bad team" scenario.

i can see timmy hardaway jr, mcw, oladipo, and giannis becoming an all star someday. and there are 6-7 guys who will be a solid 10 year pro.

i think trey has all star potential if he played in the east. west is just too deep in pg position. unless he becomes a legit 20/10 guy 3 years later, i don't see him being an all star.

Only Giannis. Oladipo maybe all defensive or some **** like that.

Not that I think Burke will get it but also another consideration is MCW is also putting up these numbers in the east which is much worse then the West. Not just overall team talent but in the PG's they face game in and game out.


Also this really isn't the thread for it and it may have been brought up in other threads but as far as him not being used with as the play maker, I got two reasons. First should be obvious and was known before the season started, this was the season to see what Hayward has and just turn it over to him and see what happens. Second is PG rookies have the toughest job so how about lightening the load a little and letting Hayward get some of those responsibilities to simplify the game for Burke who is on a steep learning curve as it is.
