But i dont think you can accurately measure his worth if he is being confined to a role that doesnt fit his skill-set

So his skill-set = chucking? Per minute, only Gordo, Al and Paul take significantly more shots than Alec. His problem has been taking too many shots, not too few. Chucking to get into a rhythm is not conducive to winning basketball games or development as a team player.

its not the greatest, i prefer it over most of the superhero movies weve been forcefed the past bunch of years.

i love the ozymandias and dr manhattan characters, if you read the graphic novel its way better, between the chapters theres all these little cool back-stories revealed thru like newspaper reports and hidden files. specifically rorschach isnt nearly as gimmicky and far less annoying in the book, (theres also a moving graphic novel or whatever they call it, thats way better than the movie if you dont mind the format of a moving comic)

alan moore litterally wants nothing to do with any of the movie adaptations of his writings (including V for Vendetta) just takes the $, that dude is the man.

he also wrote the best batman/joker graphic novel, its called the killing joke. and as a bit of a spoiler it ends with an epic joke.

the joke about the two men at an asylum at which batman laughs?

he gets open easily, (for instance his one turnover yesterday, clearly he should have shot the ball. wide open inside the FT line, tried to give to kanter in that spot near the baseline where he drains from. (he was going crazy with the kanter inbounds passes last night and still managed to drop 25.)

nothing about burks (cept the 2nd half last night, and summer league) would i ever describe as in-rhythm, thats why i see the upside tho, once the game slows down for him hes gonna realize the onus is on the defense(he realized this for a bit yesterday when he saw lil isaiah beating his chest)
right now hes put the onus on himself, worrying about being benched for mistakes

(ty's on him like white on rice, he barely missed a runner early 2nd quarter, was out in seconds.)

I think the 20-ish minutes he's been getting per night is about right. Ty's also giving him plenty of opportunities to both play off the ball and initiate the offense, as well as letting him play in crunch time occasionally. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Gordo and Mo are back. If he gets less than 12 minutes per game or loses minutes to Earl...
 
I've been happy just seeing Burks get some minutes lately, at the very least he looks like he ought to be an off the bench scorer, and if his playmaking develops a little bit more a slashing SG with decent handles who can pass a little would be really nice.

Could be a great fit with Gordo with the driving and drawing defenders only to kick it out for three.

EDIT: if you know any batman enthusiasts that arent too young for a more clever/brutal version of the stories, get them this book for their birthday or something, its really good

Yeah I didn't read the comic books and couldn't figure out why the director shoved a blue **** on the screen.
 
This thread is a wast of time, as I see it, the Jazz will either resign Mo, or trade for a young pg, or draft one, while at the same time resigning Mo. We need Burks to develop into a scoring attacking guard that puts lots of pressure on defenses and gets to the foul line. That's his upside! Pg isn't his strength, and don't see him playing point beyond this year. The only reason he's doing it now is out of necessity due to Mo being out and the only other options being those two old guys from the assisted living facility. Again the thing the Jazz need most is what Burks can provide at sg.
