Trey Burke is 2nd in scoring among sophomores

[QuinSnydersHair]

As much as he has seemed to improve some in recent weeks, we really need to take a step back and see.

1) More shot attempts than points is historically awful especially when you take as many shots as he does despite being a point guard
2) He's an awful defender

So what's to like? He knows how to run a team? But does he really? He takes sooooo many shots.

The move to the bench has been good for the team but possibly bad for Burke's growth. Utah needed some scoring off the bench and he certainly brings that, as he becomes the focal point for the second unit and doesn't have to share the ball with Hayward, Favors, or Kanter. However, being the focal point of the offense doesn't help his shoot-first mentality. I am surprised that CQS hasn't reined him in at all. Starting or off the bench, he is still shooting more shots than Hayward and that should not be the case.

 

[The Blue Elephant]

He has good Assists/TO ratio. Probably the most important stat for a PG. He is an ok passer I guess? Scoring and defense is really important too and he needs to improve that as well.

We drafted the best player in the 2013 draft so we killed it....

 

[stitches]

And he's probably the only one with more shots taken than points...

FGA=568
PTS=559

After a check with the basketball referenc site, it turns out he's not the only one, which comes to confirm just how bad of a draft that is:

MCW: 554/552
Anthony Bennett: 247/246
Ray McCallum: 130:125

Bennett's numbers are probably most shocking since he's a big and is supposed to have much better FG%...

As soon I read the title, I was about to post he is probably first in shooting (attempts)

Seems I'm a little late to point this out

He is good at not turning the ball over. Still not enough assist, too many shots.

Maybe... but Minnesota might have one the trade. Shabazz could be a legit #2 scorer next to Wiggins for future and Dieng could be a legit starting center or certainly a top back-up center.

Defense ? How is he going to grow taller or magically get quicker ??

Not all that impressive for either of you since all of the women are from Provo...

"Moving down to Provo, gonna get me a lot of fat chicks... Millions of fat chicks, fat chicks for me..."

Have you ever been to Provo?

wtf? You rarely see fat girls in provo. There are so many hot girls there. I moved to San Diego from Provo, and San Diego girls are really bad.
