I stand by my post... at the time of my posting the 'dude had no energy'. Just an observation, doesn't mean I think he sucks by any means.
Trey Burke vs. Patrick Beverley Summer League Game 2
- Thread starter A-Train (old)
- Start date
Yea some of the post were just commenting on his performance in one game and were not condemning Burke to being a D-League career. I thought Burke played better in the second game. He made adjustments but again he missed a lot of easy shots.
Besides the fact that he is playing on a horrible summer league team. Lindsey was too busy with getting the GS deal done because he pretty much failed in bringing in any quality guys for the summer league. Burke only had 2 assists but if he were playing with guys who could make shots, he would have had at least 7-8 assists. A couple of the turnovers were just flat out drops by his teammates.
Burke is going to be fine. I think he is going to be a very good player but it might take awhile. There is one thing I don't worry about is that Burke will give it his all to be the best he can be. However, he is playing in a man's league now and he will have nights where he will struggle. People need to remember that even the great John Stockton had bad games. Yes it is true.
What I am looking at with Burke his first year is how does he handle his mistakes, is he learning the offense and is he getting guys the ball where they can be successful. His shot will be fine and I already like his defensive effort. A-Train has a point with some of the criticize on this board, some people just like to complain or find fault for any reason. I know the expectations for Burke are over the top so the disappointment will be greater if he isn't who we think he is but patience is needed.

In the 2nd half of the 2nd game, he was passing the ball pretty well... like you said guys either dropped the ball, fumbled, or just flat out missed a dunk!!! The game would have been much closer if our guys had made those shots.
He seems to me like a pretty instinctive passer as well.... He's already passing it much better than Hayward, Burks & Mo Williams, combined. That's gotta be a good sign.

the game starts and beverley steals his dribble 40 feet from the basket, Priceless summerleague moment. i knew the jazz had found the next CP3
how about Casper Ware(whos like 5'8") vs Trey Burke??
Ware, 17mins 2/5fg's, 6/7ft's, 3reb's, 2ast's, 3stl''s, 0to's
Burke 25mins, 5/15fg's, 0/0ft's, 2reb's, 2ast's, 0stl's, 4to's

Why don't you show us Burks' numbers at the PG position as well? I'd be interested to see those stats.

Burks is fine at PG, his PG minutes are always going to be matchup based. also hes the reigning mvp of this league, burke is the rookie under the microscope.
Burke on the otherhand needs to be a volume player at PG, i just wonder about his FGA's as a Rookie, teams are gonna throw the kitchen sink at him, will he lose his legs late in games like they say about steph curry?
Allen Iverson as a rookie averaged 20 attempts per game, but scored 23points on 7.5 assists and 2.1steals and 4.1rebs in 40 minutes per game, he also got to the line 7.6x per game
15FGA's and 0FTA's is worrisome
