Trey Burke and his shooting (and the Jazz winning)

We just need him to take 1 shot a game (only at the end of a close game). If he did that, he'd probably be shooting 80% from the field.
 
The Jazz play at a different level when Burke is hitting his shots. His attempts have been fine. Be patient, more times than not he has been playing the right way.

Didn't someone post the stats though showing that when burke isn't taking shots we are winning?

Kind of contradicts your post it seems
 
How much is Burke to blame, and how much is Quin's system to blame? If he has Alec Burks automatically passing the ball at 18 seconds in the shot clock "just because", the implied statement is - you're not a worthy option. When other options fail, the ball ends up back in Burke's hands late in the shot clock. From what I've seen, Burke does his best to run a late pick and pop/roll with Kanter or Favors, he doesn't force shots.
 
The real question is whether these shots are coming out of the offense, or whether Burke is breaking the offense to take them. If we are really interested in development more than winning, we want him to take the right shots, even if he is having trouble making them right now.
 
Trey is short, not that fast, not that quick, but he makes up for shooting a lot and missing a lot. I don't think he will ever shoot over 40% from the field in his career. We need to look for a new PG.
 
I think these stats show Trey, for the most part, is not helping us win games no mater how many shots he takes right now.
 
In games where Trey misses 10 or more shots, the Jazz are 1 - 4 (.200).

In games where Trey misses 9 or fewer shots, the Jazz are 4 - 4 (.500).

In games where Trey misses 6 or fewer shots, the Jazz are 3 - 1 (.750).


Not a big sample here, but the Jazz appear to be markedly more successful when Trey throws fewer bricks.

The problem isn't really that Trey is shooting. The problem is that Trey is missing.

Maybe the philosophy should be "if you don't shoot it, you can't miss it."
