is Trey adjusting to the league or is the league adjusting to him?

his #'s are decreasing monthly(14.8ppg in Dec, 11.8 in Jan, 11.0 in Feb, 9.6 so far in march)

his PPS is under 1.0 (127th out of 127 qualified players), shooting 37% from the field(25th of 25 qualified PG's) and 32% from deep(41st of 45 qualified PG's).

I'm kind of concerned we see more of the same next year..
 
I've said it before but he desperately needs a shooting coach. His three point shot does not have enough arc and hits the front of the iron alot. He is also way off balance coming off screens for his mid range shot.

Hornacek would have been great....... oh wait.
 
I wonder what Trey's ceiling is and what his floor is. He's not going to get any taller, probably won't get any quicker. I was so excited when we drafted him, but I'm starting to wonder if Trey's the answer at point. Obviously, Ty hasn't used him correctly. He's had the offense go through Hayward as much as Ty. I know he's a rookie, but I'm not sure if we are always going to out gunned at point every night.
 
Trey will be fine, but I hope the trend continues for the rest of the season and he averages 4ppg in April.
 
Burke's mechanics have changed on his jump shot - he used to be straight up and down with excellent balance, now he seems to be leaning forward with a little hitch starting on the right side of his body.

His legs are gone so he's trying to generate power in his shot from the upper body instead of the lower body - certain doom for a jump shooter.

Of course the bigger question is why he is shooting so much in the first place?
 
Burke has a lot to work on during the off-season and I trust things will be addressed. There's no doubt he's going to work on his shooting, conditioning, etc.
