Point Guard Situation

Burke supporters keep saying he's going to change, but he doesn't. We've been talking about his bad habits for two years now and he hasn't broken them. Maybe it's prudent to keep him awhile because of the situation, but I just don't have any faith that he will ever change his ways and be the guy we need.

Saying he has or hasn't changed after one preseason game is just showing obvious bias against Burke.

Not the point. He's using assist in one preseason game to say one player isn't doing enough.

I agree about the sample size, but why bring up that silliness about passes failing to convert at all?

Read the entire post for crying out loud. I acknowledged that it was just one game and even said after tonight we could be saying an entirely different thing. smh

Silliness? I thought I made the point clear. There's a bunch of plays throughout the game if it goes another way if you look at the box score you say a player did a great job passing the ball. You have to watch the games to really know whether or not a player made effective passes.

The guy clearly has a problem with Burke and anything short of a 20 assist night with no turnover and he'll find something to complain about.

My point is just saying one player had X assist the other had Y therefore the player with less assist didn't move the ball well is a flawed way to judge. The fact that it's just one preseason game just made it a rush to judgment.

Yeah, I have a problem based on watching him for two years and seeing the same thing over and over. It was the same with Corbin. You can only defend someone for so long. If I saw a ray of hope I would cling to it. But Trey doesn't seem to thrive in a situation where he's supposed to run the offense. He shines only when he's the whole show. The problem is that he isn't good enough to be the whole show, and to make matters worse, he doesn't give the effort or have the mindset required to be a good defender.
 
Jazz are going to find some way to get Jordan Clarkson after seeing him in action. We might have to give up one of our core group, but Clarkson is a player who won't be happy either playing the 2 with Russell or coming off the bench.
 
he is the argument I was making to my son. burks, Hayward and favors all have to get their touches on the first team. Gobert is going to want some touches too. Neto makes a lot more sense with his pass first mentality. if Neto can hit 35% from 3 he will force people to play him instead of sagging off (heck 1 for 3 would keep them honest)

on the second unit you have hood and ..... no one really. Burke fits so much better here as a shooting pg. booker won't demand a lot of touches but will get points off his hustle. pleiss will need a few but ingles no. the line ups just make so much better sense. besides Burke SHOULD play better against second string pgs.
 
Luckily we have more preseason games to see what Burke and Neto do. Based on last game and the summer league games from a few years ago I would rather see Neto starting but as mentioned, we can watch more. I don't think Burke is going to be traded and if he is it's probably for a more-established PG (though I doubt this happens).

I think the tea leaves are there that Cotton gets cut. It doesn't look good for Cooley or Chris Johnson either. They are not getting a run. The paper also said that Jarrett is guaranteed a million this year so they might not be able to financially cut him either.
 
you people are disrespectful to Trey. Maybe it might do him some good to get out of that trash place called Utah. Okay I admit Utah is beautiful scenery but the people. Good lord these the people who whined about Fisher wanting his child to have good medical care. Reggie Miller called you out on it. You understand that mosty of the country think Utah is nothing but Mormons and think Mormons are crazy. Best thing about Utah is its on the way to Vegas. TRey please get the f out of SLC and go somewhere they will treat you with respect. Ofcourse pg has to shoot when youyr t starting big men are offensively challanged
