-the official Alec Burks PG thread-

Can anyone get a video up of Burks 25 point game tonight? When I'm having trouble sleeping I'd like to use it as my pacifier.
 
He's played well at the 1 even though he isn't your prototype PG. He can get our team into the offense just fine.
You have some idiots on here who are saying he's an average ball-handler, blah blah blah. The fact is he's
played just as good since Mo went down, as the vet PGs. So if Burks is an average ball handler, over dribbler what
is their excuse? All of this while he was tied down to the bench for most of the season, and thrust into his secondary position. All things considered
he's played very well for the situation he's been given.
 
Burks does need to work on his dribbling skills. This is something he can do in the off season though, because this boy shouldn't be riding the pine anymore.
 
The best part is....

All of the knocks on his game are things that can be improved through practice.

ball-handling? over-dribbling? Easily solvable with proper coaching.


he has a good feel for the game, is surprising mega agile.

He really reminds me of westbrook in his rookie year (also basically a 2 transitioning to the 1).

Out of control at times, but impressive athleticism and flashes of point guard brilliance.


I'm starting to think that RW is his ceiling.
 
He should be playing shooting guard. When Hay comes back he and Hay should be sharing ball-handle-N responsibilities. I don't care what position Burks plays really, as long as he gets time on the court over on-the-verge-of-retirement vets, though when Hayward comes back he's got a track record of screwing Burks, or Demarre, for someone who doesn't help the team win now, and doesn't matter in the future, but whom he feels some odd obligation to give minutes to.

1.He is absolutely an average ball handler

2. Their excuse is they both should probably be retired right now

3. He has played well recently lets hope it continues

is he an average ball handler for a PG, or an average ball handler for a oversized pg? the first one i can agree with, 2nd one not so much. like i said before its apples and oranges

You're clueless. Burks' ball-handling is average AT BEST for any guard in this league. And your earlier post about coaching ball-handling shows just how clueless you are. Burks isn't 10 years old. He either has ball-handling skills by this point or he doesn't. Sure, he can tighten up his handle some and work on it but for the most part, if it's going to get better, it's going to be very marginally better.
