Simply spot-on analysis IMO. I understand that many have beef with the shots that Burke is taking-- but a lot of these shots really are good shots. From the eye-test, it seems like his lay-ups are getting better (not sure if the stats back this up). I'm fine with the three-point attempts he's taking.

The only big ***** in his armour right now, is his fast-break decision-making. It's definitely the next thing he needs to work on. Offensively & defensively he really is improving. It would be foolish to trade him now, as many are clamouring.

Are people still bitching about his shots? What I'm seeing is a guy freezing everyone in the paint and then diving. It's a huge step forward. Next is hitting those layups and the step after that is diving with an option of search dribbling for corners and cutters.

I can't remember a season I was this happy with the overall growth of young players. Favors, Hayward, Burke, Gobert, Burks pre-injury (although that contract is an albatross), and even Kanter although he's no longer here. This squad has created a buzz that's been lacking in Jazz Nation for years. And that's without Exum doing a single ****ing thing impressive thus far.

Exum's D is impressive

Burks will live up to his contract enough to where it is not an "albatross". Possibly fully earn it.

Agreed on the overall improvement. Burke is awesome with his stutter that freezes his defenders. Also his little floater in the lane is starting to drop.

Burks will absolutely live up to his deal. When the cap goes up to $90 M it will look like a really good deal.

Sticklers. Nothing wrong with saying Exum is raw and has been completely underwhelming, especially in the context of the growth this team has shown this season. I'm plenty high on Exum still but he hasn't done much to add to the buzz that Fave, G-Time (<<<kill that), Gobert, and now Burke has created.

Parts of his game have been unimpressive for sure. You are right that there is nothing wrong with saying that. That is not how I, and NAOS apparently, took your post.

Just a misunderstanding.
 
This is Priest Cy reporting in on the exorcism. Burke has been lost to Satan and we can't get him back. Sorry.

Yeah, Burke creates a buzz much like huffing paint. I prefer my buzzes not to induce vomiting and cause headaches.

We cannot give up on He, BJB. We simply cannot.


Pray, brethren.
