What is the future at shooting guard? (an Alec post)

[NUMBERICA]

Burks is going to start.

If he doesn't get it fast, Hood will be breathing down his neck. If we start of slow or something, the scapegoat will probably be Burks.

As long as we are winning, it won't be an issue. If we start losing though, Burks probably gets benched for Hood.

I think it is going to be a lot harder to bench Burks mid-season and I think he is more suited as a 6th man than Hood is and I think Hood's skillset meshes better with the starting unit. And I'm pretty sure that opinion is nearly unanimous.

All the mock drafts have us taking 2 or 3s with both the first and second round picks. Could it be that a lot of guys that occupied those positions this last year are headed to parts unknown?

Why do you assume the people making the mocks know so much about what the Jazz FO plans to do. Go back through past drafts and then let me know if the Jazz are making their drafting decisions based on the mocks.

Also, I agree with everyone who has said that the poll choices are stupid.

What's wrong with keeping burks and using other pieces and assets to trade for a better player?

Dante Exum



however, just because we are at 12 doesn't mean we aren't trading for a move up like we did with try burke

What are you talking about? There were very few mocks that had the Jazz taking Exum, especially because almost all of them had him being selected before we picked. The Jazz pick of Exum is definitely not evidence that the mock drafters have insight into the overall strategy of the Jazz FO as the post I was responding to claimed.

Neither Burks nor Exum will be a scapegoat, because Utah is gonna kick ***. Also, even though most of us see Burks as a 6th man, I doubt Quin will start out with Hood starting over him. I think the starting spot will be AB's to lose.
