Trey dribbles pretty well. He does that at least at an above average level.

Well then there's really nothing to talk about. If you don't see anything Burke does then me telling you won't impact your opinion at all.

He has to learn to shoot.
shooting at a .368 clip is pretty atrocious. Especially because he lacks defense. I think Burke has some potential upside on offense still. He's going to have to get much better.
I still think hes a backup PG at this point. We will see what happens.

I think you're wrong. If you could actually make a case for something Burke does considerably better than your average NBA point guard it would certainly change my opinion.
He is an above average off the dribble mid-range shooter.

what do you mean you haven't watched a hell of a lot of him? Any jazz fan who wants to make up his/her mind about Burke has had a lot of opportunity to get experience watching him. What's up?
I'm pretty sure he shoots something like 41% on off the dribble midrange shots, I think league average is like 37%.
Life. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

If Exum was ready for starter minutes, we'd be fine with Treyd playing actual backup minutes. Personally, I don't think we can assume Exum will make a big jump offensively, and I really don't want to rely on Treyd playing a significant role again next year. I'm not convinced he'll ever get a feel for when his shot isn't falling, and at this point I don't believe this leopard will be able to change his spots. He's a high volume/low percentage shooter with bad defense, and even though he may be able to improve a bit here or there, I just don't see him becoming a different kind of player. His trade value isn't very high, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him moved in the offseason as part of a package deal.

ouch .. Catty ..
I feel bad for Trey, he seems like a nice kid. But he aint gonna get taller or quicker and i doubt he gets much better defensively. If he learns to play smart and utilize his dribbling & midrange game and only shoot open threes he could be a really good backup PG but he needs to learn to play withing his physical limitations and figure out a way to not get abused by quality opposing PGs And to learn how to run a fast break but to me that seems a pretty innate skill to have

you have time to come onto JFC and make impassioned arguments about Burke's existence but not watch games? Yeah, I'm definitely confused.
You can take your "life" comment and stick it. I sleep for 5 hours a night so I can get to all my biz.
