The 1st controversy this season.. Neto/Hood starting over Burke/Burks

[da ThRONe]

It is not about who is the better player. It is about what combos, rotations and line ups are best for the team. Burke had a great preseason but the Jazz sorely need his scoring fromt he bench.

What part of my post gave you the impression that I don't understand roles? His point was that Burke expects to start. I was just saying giving his performance he should want and expect to start.

And I am saying that it may not be that much of an issue. I think Burke understands how Snyder works and it isn't as easy as being the better player.

Burks is better at creating shots than Hood so I'm fine with having him come off the bench. Hood will stretch the floor and keep the paint open for Favors and Gobert.

This didn't answer my question. I get everything you're saying. Which is why I asked why you directed your post at me. I pointed out how well Trey accepted his "6th man" role last season.

For me Trey fits the starting line up better than Neto. I think Burke faciliting skills are being vastly underrated. He take the shots defenses give him which make sense for the defense since he has shot then so poorly.

This is pretty much a no-brainer. I don't want Burke taking shots from G-Time or Favors or Hood/Burks. I want him taking shots from Withey or Booker or Millsap.

Neto has already displayed more court vision and defensive tenacity than Burke ever has. I think you start Neto at 18-22 mpg. Give Burke 18-22 mpg off the bench and go with the 3 wing set the rest of the way.

You may have missed the double question mark "??" in the thread Title. Indicated to me that he was not claiming to know it but instead putting a reasonable conjecture out for discussion. Good thread, in my opinion.

Maybe you should read the thread title again.

Didn't Q say the Denver line up was the regular season line up?

 

[Jazz4ever]

I agree with it. Burks lack of three point interest lets him be just a slasher in the 2nd unit. Burke is a low efficiency scoring PG and will probably be a 2nd stringer the rest of his career.

I agree with this 100%

Not exactly.

Quin said that he was treating the Denver game like a regular season game.

It's been said already, but our offensive spacing has been bad in the early pre-season. Hood spaces the floor better for Favors and Gobert, and they need every bit they can get.

Neto seems to move the ball better than Burke, he plays faster and he has more of an impact defensively.


So for the sake of pace, ball movement, spacing and defense, the Neto/Hood combo is probably part of our best line-up overall.

Start Neto and find yourself down during the beginning of games. Start Burke and at least you have instant offense to stay close. Burke is the better pg and should be starting. Burks should start also in my opinion, Groom Neto and Hood to fuel the bench.
