The Trey Burke Thread

[JAZZGASM]

The technology is pretty awesome these days... Let me know what you see, but the percentages are pretty daunting. No one is perfect, but he's pretty damn good it seems.

He is pretty good down the stretch. He also doesn't look to pass as much as I would like from a PG. With 2 minutes left he is only at 39%. With one minute left he is at 33%. Last 10 seconds he is 3/6 from 2P and 3/4 from 3P.

The thing I dislike the most is the fact that he is taking so many shots in the clutch rather than distributing. Where are the other Jazz players on the list? Hayward at 45 then Burks at 30. Favors at 18 and Kanter at 10. Trey leads them all by a large amount. Not the style of ball I want to watch.

I just don't get what people are talking about when they say Trey's to slow or can't get into the paint?

He's plays the game at a great pace which allows him to make high IQ reads. He makes the defense commit before making the pass or taking the shot. It's what PG's that are seasoned veterans do. That pace puts serious pressure on the defense. So long as Trey is connecting on that mid range jumpers the bigs have to make a split decision on PNR whether to sag down to defend the roll man or step out to defend Trey.

Trey isn't Russell at attacking the basket, but that isn't necessary and again neither is CP3. Go watch videos of Chris Paul and after you watch his superior handles(which he has improved apon year after year his handle was more on par with Burke's year 1 and 2), but he isn't explosive to the rim and he puts that same pressure on the defense with pace and great decision making.

I take great exception to that claim.

I take great exception to that claim.

You are right. What I meant to put was he plays the PNR game with great pace. And I probably should have said advance pace for his experience level.
