Totally agree. The kid's got more than he can chew with this limited role. Those who think Ty is hamstringing Trey are ridiculous. This is probably the worst "Blame Ty" argument out there.

Trey needs to get better shot selection. I am a huge Michigan Fan. Always have been. I think think Trey is great.
But even with my Michigan goggles..........Trey needs to get his floater down, pick better shots. And work on the pick and roll more with Kanter and Favors. This 1 on 1 stuff he tries needs to end right now.
He will never be a all-star point guard. I don't want Trey to average 18 points per game and be like Deron or Chris Paul who have to have to ball in their hands. He needs to average 12-13 and 6-7 assists.
He is a role playing PG and that is what we want. He just needs to realize that.
Championship teams don't come with PG's who dominate the ball all the time. Playoff time its easier to game plan against.
Balanced playmakers is what we want. Share the playmaking ability with 2-3 players. Not just 1. Chris Paul will NEVER win a championship. And you can take that bet up with me. We want Trey to be B.J. Armstrong from the 90's bulls.
A great catch and shoot player but with a little more playmaking ability than BJ had.

Imagine if we landed a scorer like Parker. That would help Burke tremendously. He really doesn't have a go-to-guy to give the ball to. GH hasn't shot the ball well this year and Williams is sporadic. Burke is a monster competitor - that was one of his sticking points in scouting reports. He's going to become a better player and he's going to get in better shape. And when our front office upgrades the team (which will happen), Burke will play better.

I'm in the same about, although I had serious reservations about drafting him in the first place. AS you said, Trey isn't going to get any taller. And when you're a small PG, you better be quick. Trey is not quick. Add to that the fact he can't shoot and all the ingredients are present for a major bust. My bold prediction: Burke will not last past his rookie contract with Utah. DL will trade him and other assets to bring in an upgrade.
Both. Rookies tend to take a particular hard hit once the league adjusts to them.

The Summer League should have been a huge red flag to the organization. Burke's legs were still dead in July - probably from doing nothing after Michigan going all the way through the tournament a few months before.
