I'd rather have a guy who realizes he sucks at something and hence doesn't try it than one who is so selfish and dumb that he doesn't recognize his own limitations.

You can't get better at something if you don't try to do it. That is something Exum needs to learn quick.

Can I have neither, please? :(

Kind of what I was thinking. Exum is at least two years away from having the confidence he needs and Burke is probably about five years away from having the humility and maturity he needs. We might want to look into acquiring another PG in the meantime.
 
Trey Burke was pretty good tonight. Adjusted from his outside shot not falling to taking it to the hoop. Refs refuse to call contact on Trey just like they do on Hayward. There were times when Blake kept a hand on Trey for five seconds at a time and The Jazz get called for Lillard travelling. . .

I know. I'm not happy with him at all. He's got so much potential and he's going to throw it away if he doesn't start believing in himself.

Pretty sure the whole team is telling Burke to shoot the ball most of the time since no one else on the team really wants to shoot the ball, especially when Hayward and Hood are out.

You can blame Burke all you want, I've soured on supporting him as of late, but you have to recognize he is being asked to shoot a lot. He does make a lot of bad decisions out there, but the team is asking him to handle a larger portion of teh scoring load than he is able to handle. Instead of backing down, he at least tries. More than you say for Exum at this point.

Even when he's putting up points I just can't stand Trey's game.

He was a lot of fun to watch when he played for Michigan. But this is a different level and that style doesn't work unless you've got Kobe/Jordan level one-on-one skills.

I think you're right, but then I wonder if nobody on the team realizes he's a 37% FG shooter. If the guy taking the most shots is one of the most inefficient at making them then of course the offense is going to blow.
