Ya, you never want to have 2 really good slashers and scorers that get to the line, handle the ball well, and are good passers.

If Kanter really knocks down the straight 3 as Lindsey said he would, It would be amazing to have Burks, Exum or Hay on the wings slashing. Just think of the space they will have. Hopefully Hay improves his corner 3 and Exum can hit it.
 
Snyder will have a whole year trying to fix Corbins crappy coaching mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jazz be WORSE record wise than last year. That said I am way more excited to watch them play this year vs the last 3 years.
Hayward will be very similar number wise. Favors too. Burke will get fewer minutes cause of Exum, I would imagine his numbers stay close as well. Kanter however I see getting much better numbers, a double double average is a real probability. Burks could blow up in the Snyder system. 18pts. 3 assists. 4 boards are realistic.

Yep
And also, alec is a pretty decent three point shooter and from what chauncey billups said alec is really good at corner threes. (Billups nicknamed alec burks "the corner pimp" because he is good at hitting threes from the corner)

If he gets minutes then he should easily get those numbers.

Last year when hayward got injured in january burks started for the 5 games that hayward was out and averaged 19 points and almost 5 assists during those five games. And that includes a game against detroit where alec only took 2 shots and scored 6 points in a 21 point win that alec got 28 minutes in.

And that was under corbin in a tanking year.

In college.
I guess alec burks and chauncy billups were good friends and worked out together before burks ever was a jazz player

(They both went to colorado in college)

He was %47 from the left corner and %32 from the right corner. He is a pretty decent 3pt shooter.

I never heard that nickname. It's nice but I take "Easy 20" over "The Corner Pimp".
