I think he holds the ball too long and is too cautious. He needs to put his head down and drive more. It will result in mistakes, but it will also help is game grow.

After 1 year, I am still in support on Burke. I think he can be a solid player in this league as well as for the Jazz. I also think his mentality and the toughness he's shown will be an asset for this team. He has that intangible that I don't see Hayward having.
How many years of basketball have you coached? Just wondering, not trolling.

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.

There are studies out there that link early TO's in a young players career to success. Players who don't take the risk and just play it safe (what Burke does a lot of the time) don't grow.

So playing under a coach with a terrible offensive scheme, on a team with limited shooters, with inexperienced players, and used improperly was the best case scenario?
That's interesting. Can you link me to some of these studies?
Damn, Burke averaged 5.7 APG his rookie year by playing it safe. Would love to see how much he would average if he took "risks".
Google'd to try to find written articles, but here is a podcast Locke did with Kevin Pelton 2 years back.
