Trey Burke working out at Terminal 23

Fair enough. We'll see if his numbers improve significantly. But I wouldn't necessarily say the Jazz had only one weapon. Before Burks got hurt, he was having a good season shooting-wise. And Kanter was certainly a weapon offensively. So one would have expected Trey's numbers through November to be much better: he was playing with the starters and had Hayward, Burks, Kanter and Favors to pass to. He wasn't - except by his own design - the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd option. He was that supporting player you speak of. And how did he do? He shot 36%/30%.

What happened to 'can't infer correlation'?









Your argument that Jazz had weapons because Kanter and Burks sucks btw.

Yeah I mean Trey made 1 mis-step in taking picture of his **** and he was shunned by the Jazz ever since, which is really unfair, 1 lapse in judgement shouldn't cost you that much.

I hope this is sarcasm since if he were shooting 38% from 3, 45% overall with 7 apg, no one would be complaining about the picture. I for one could care less about it.

Your original claim was that Burke played with only one offensive weapon and that was why Trey performed poorly - because he is a supporting player and needs better players around him. Yes, Hayward at 19 pts/per was certainly a weapon and the #1 option. But you claimed he was the only weapon, so you are also implying that Favors (16 pts/per), Burks (14 pts) and Kanter (15 pts/per) were not offensive weapons.

I'd say that lineup offered Trey FOUR pretty good offensive weapons. I used the period up until Burks got hurt to show that he essentially performed no different when he was the starter with good offensive players around him than he did when he was the backup and was trying to be more of a scorer.

No matter the situation, Trey shot a miserable 37%/32% for the season. I didn't make that up. It's a fact you can see on any sports site you choose.

By your argument, we should expect Trey's numbers to decline again this season. Jazz essentially have done nothing to improve the players around Trey. And inserting Gobert lessens the offensive potential of the starting unit.
