Open Scrimmage October 5 at 4 p.m. MT!

If Trey Burke continues to suck (let's be honest) through all of pre-season and gets obviously outplayed by Lucas or Machado, would it be a terrible idea to have Burke come off the bench? I'm starting to get just a little worried that throwing him in the fire might not be the right strategy.

But what do I know.

It's obvious bringing him off the bench is better idea than starting him but it's too bad our PG rotation just really sucks.

After watching the scrimage I think the starting lineup should be:

1 Alec Burks
2 Gordon Hayward
3 Jeremy Evans
4 Derrick Favors
5 Enes Kanter

Bench
1 Trey Burke(at this point only because he was a 9th pick)
2 Brandon Rush
3 Marvin Williams
4 Richard Jefferson
5 Rudy Gobert
 
People, even though he has physical shortcomings, Burke's main problem is mostly mental. So, let's not execute him already.

We should start and play him all the preseason, early season and even the whole season. We should give him every chances this season. If he doesn't quit sucking, only after then, we can decide what to do with him.

Hell, I'm not even a Burke fan because I like only pure PGs, but since we drafted this kid, lets let him to prove himself, through the season and real basketball games, instead of meaningless scrimmages or pick up games.

Isn't it what this season about?

I think he starts when he gets his confidence. I think laying all that pressure on him might break him. Just because we took him early in the first round it doesn't mean he is an automatic starter. How far into the season are we going to get until the Trey Burke excuses stop. I believe players should earn their minutes, so when he earns them he can have them. Right now it would be embarrassing for him and the Jazz.

Gobert looks like he is going to be a stud. I say give him the minutes and **** biedrins.

Rewatching.

Favors has a bad *** Maloneesque play early on where he ball fakes real low to freeze Evans then shoots the easy J. Watch that and tell me working with Malone didn't do anything, it's uncanny.

I had this exact thought when I saw it.

I'd be ok with this thought if only there was a player in the team that truly deserves the starting PG position more than Burke. Burks is not a PG and shouldn't start at PG ever.

If we want to reduce the pressure and stress off from Burke, we can do it via other ways like Hayward playing PointForward, Burks sharing PG mins at PG, coaches and Lucas mentoring him and tell him it is OK to be in his situation(because it's really ok) etc etc...

huh?
 
guys, just prepare yourself for the idea that burke is not the future

no one will wait for a guy for 4-5 years till he will figure it out when you have a core already ready to shine

and it will not be lillard 2.0 this season

most likely next season lindsay will bring a starting pg and burke will be traded the next 2 seasons
 
Burke is just a complementary player to the core. It's 2014 draft where we will find our star and form the team to be a contender. I believe Burke will be part of the team then but not as important as some think.
