Livingston would not be a back-up for the Jazz. He'd start at the two and maybe be the best option on offense.

BS.

Burks and hayward should both start over livingston..... they are both better players and both are younger with more potential to improve.

As far as the best option part of your post.
Burks, hayward, and kanter are all better scoring options than livingston

Livingston is a better playmaking option than any of those guys. By far the best isolation player the Jazz would have on their team.

I don't think Burks is better than Livingston, and Hayward is worse at creating offense. Lineup would probably be Burke, Livingston, Hayward, Kanter, Favors. Burks would still be 6th man - a role that suits him imo

Lol.

Burks is way better at isolation plays.

Maybe livingston would be our best playmaker (passer) but if so it wouldnt be by much. Hayward is quite a good passer and i have faith that burks will be (otherwise why did we move up to draft him)

Its laughable to say that livingston is better than burks in isolation..... that is burks forte, that is what he does at an elite level.
I guess you probably didnt get to see burks play much cause of where you live but the second half of last season burks had somewhat of a breakout as a scorer..... especially at blowing by his defender, abusing the help defense and getting to the rim for a bucket or free throws

I'm not going to argue that Livingston is a better isolation scorer than Burks because he's not, but with his ability to pass he's a better isolation player. Burks will be an important guy as the 6th man creating much of the offense in that role. Maybe you should have seen Livingston play...

WTH? Burks is a better shooter (Burks 35% 3pt, Livingston a dismal 16%), a better scorer, better at getting to the line. They are nearly identical at rebounding and assists. Livingson's PER is 14, Burks is 16. All that and Burks is just 22, Livingston is 28.

Burks is definitely better than Livingston, and younger.

I just looked it up and burks played 2 more minutes per game.
Burks averaged 14 pts. Livingston 8.

Burks averaged 3.3 rebounds. Livingston 3.2

Burks averaged 2.7 assists. Livingston 3.2

Burks shot 48 percent from 2. Livingston 48 percent.

Burks shot 35 percent from 3 on 1.8 attempts per game. Livingston shot 16 percent from 3 on 0.1 attempts per game (he had zero 3 pt attempts in his 49 game season the previous year)


Burks has missed like 2 games due to injury in his career. Livingston? Lol

Burks is 22 years old
Livingston is 28 years old


Just some food for thought
