This is a super good signing - not breaking the bank for a guy who plays pretty good defense and can shoot - he's streaky, but he's an upgrade to CJ. Now that our 1-3 can actually make threes, I expect our big men to play even better....
Wow! What's not to like? A 6'0" combo guard? His career 42%/33% marks? Though he has shot 37.5% the last two seasons I suppose. If he keeps his mouth shut, I'm fine with it but I think we needed a 5 more. Perhaps this is a sign a trade is in the works? Williams/Tinsley/Watson/Hayward/Burks/Murphy and now Lowry?
Burks is gonna get screwed in all this I have a feeling.
Yeaah I'm not worried about Burks' place yet. After he dominated summer league I don't think they rushed to sign someone to take his minutes. There's always the Corbin factor to worry about though
Or on the bench? I mean, does anyone really think we're closing games with Foye? Just sayin'. I actually like the pickup but man oh man, Burks is gonna get screwed and this board is going to melt down.
Or maybe this is a harbinger of Jefferson, Millsap and Burks for Dwight.
Burks was a rookie who didn't have the benefit of summer league or a real training camp and only two preseason games. I'm guessing he wasn't ready to play big minutes, but as time went on he earned more and more time, and often finished games. Your acting as though this signing means Burks will never get off the bench. My point is if Burks shows he's worthy of extra playing time or starting, then Burks will get his regardless of this signing.
You say if a player deserves minutes he will get them. Remember when favors was our best player and the most likely candidate to be our franchise player? Then remember how favors would get less than 20 minutes per game? Remember when tinsley was outplaying watson, but corbin kept playing watson ahead of tinsley cause watson was more experienced in the jazz system? And again remember when corbin was playing bell (one of the worst players in the league) ahead of burks? I dont care if burks was a raw rookie with no training camp, he was still the better option than bell.
You guys noticing a trend with these signings? Every move KOC has made this offseason doubled as a huge improvement in both defense and 3 point shooting. Mo, Marvin, and Randy are all stellar defenders
