Some (not all) of Burks highlights from last night

Couple of posts from the Cavs message board on Burks:

He's not a ball stopper. He gets it and just makes the offense flow.

Don't think this guy is anything like Rodney. He seems to like to slash. If Rodney was willing to go to the rim like Burks, he might be a pretty decent player.

I'd give him some burn as our backup PG over Harrison. Play some drive and kick.



Alec had the best stat line of anyone on our team last night for what it's worth. 15 pts, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers.
What's everyone else do except nothing?



Burks being Clarkson's replacement would be alot better for the development of our team.


I like Burks very lively. Not a ball stopper. Slash and finish or shoot the tray. I like it.


Burks from what I have seen so far is the better team player. He isn't really forcing shots the same way IMO and freezing guys out.

Might be the move to get rid of Clarkson if someone thinks they can use him to score off the bench.


He’s better than Rodney Hood.



They mostly seem to like him.

The Cavs got the better player out of this deal. He's also younger. He'll be starting by his 10th game in a Cavaliers uniform. Burks is probably the best Cav. Because of Quin's short leash, Burks never really became the player he is capable of being. Having said that, he was mostly really good this year, and deserved more minutes as well as even arguably a starting spot. Korver is a fantastic fit under Quin's system that rewards high IQ, movement, teamwork, and is a piece that absolutely can turn around this abysmal season. He has the quickest release on the team, and is the best shooter on the team, and there is no argument. Still, the Jazz gave away the better/younger player and two picks, and yet that was the right move.
 
Burks 1st on the cavs in plus minus stat by a lot again tonight with +15. (With like 5 minutes to go)
11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, zero turnovers in 25 minutes.
