The Official Trey Burke Evaluation Thread

It's no secret or mystery. If he had that third gear he would have gone top 3 though. As long as he can nail his jumpers and keep defenses honest, he'll be fine. Today, like the pure shooter Caldwell Pope, his jumper was off. Nerves probably got the best of him.

Good post.
 
Wrong thread, I know, but Gobert looks like a great pick at #27. He's not as slow as I thought he'd be and his reactions are good--as evidenced by the put-back, the blocks and receiving that dish from Burke.
 
Way to early for me to be hitting the panic button on Trey. He may not have had a stellar shooting game today, but I liked what I saw, and felt that he was getting more comfortable with the game as it progressed.

I think that he will continue to improve and will be fine as our point guard when it's all said and done.

I did like what I saw from Olidapo and Olynk today. While Olynk may not be a monster defensively, he can shoot, and stretch the floor, something that will always be a plus in the NBA today. I can see why the Jazz were considering picking him. He could of really opened up the middle for Favors/Kanter.
 
Well Burks has given Burks the 2 thumbs up:

"I feel like he's good player and is going to make us all better," said Burks after exiting Sunday's game with a mild left ankle sprain. "He draws defenses. That makes my life easier, Gordon's life easier, D-Fav and Enes' life easier. I like that about him a lot."
 
Dude wait until there is an actual offense being run that he knows with some talent around him. Defensively I thought Burke did well staying in front of his man. Offensively I think he was trying too hard at times to create for himself, but there were a couple drives that he dumped off perfectly.
