It must be painful living your entire life waiting to drop "I told you so"s.

Twice last night I watched Alec Burks fake a three and drive to the basket--something we all were taught to do. But the Blazers defense adjusted, and the helper cut him off 9-10 feet away from the rim. Rather than finding the open guy who was abondoned by the helper, Burks forced up shots, which he missed.
He doesn't seem to grasp the modern NBA defense is designed to entice players into those low percentage shots thrown up wildly somewhere between the three point line and the rim.
For the season burks is shooting 3 for 13 on shots between 3 and 16 feet. That is 23-percent.
On the positive side, Burks is shooting 4-8 at the rim and 9-16 from beyond 16-ft including a remarkable 7 for 13 from 3 (that's 54%).
His rim numbers and three point shooting indicate he can be a very good role player in the modern nba.
Now if they can just get him to stop taking those awful midrange shots, and get him to play some defense.

Rod is more valuable than TJ Warren unless you really like sub 30% 3pt shooting wings who arent named Demar DeRozan.
Not sure where you are getting your shooting chart stats, but that ain't right.

I grabbed mine from: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/burksal01/shooting/2018
The two pages don't group shots the same, but if you add them up the results are the same.

I could be horribly mistaken, but I swear that Trey Burke had 30 points in a game his rookie season. Mitchell shows awesome promise, and plays defense something Burke never did, so i'm cautiously excited right now

In Jazz history? Karl, Trey and Donovan Mitchell. Deron had a game with 20.
In league history I stopped looking after 600 games like that. A fun tidbit, Tyreke Evans has the record for fewest points ever scored by a rookie shooting 21 or more shots. He scored 9-points on 4-22 shooting in 2010.
Trey scored 32 and 30 in his rookie season. Poor kid probably still wonders why he isn't in the league.

Not to be racist, but [insert racist statement here].
(I'm kidding. It's not racist to notice that white players tend to be good shooters.)

This is why Embiid is such a good shooter.
