What's new

When will the Trey Burke experiment end?

...Trey's minutes have declined each game (38, 34, 32, 31, 23, 27).

Exum has seen the opposite. (10, 19, 18, 17, 25, 27, 21)

Exum has also had 5 assists the last 3 games, shot over 50% the last two, has only 3 TOs in November and rotates between ice cold and on fire from 3.

Very thrilled with Exum's progress. Same with Hood.
 
He'll probably go off tonight just cause of this thread.
Rod Stewart is singing about basketball when he says "spread your wings and let me come inside," right?
I mean we all are saying Trey needs to penetrate more.

1. Why does he struggle so much? Firstly he is a shoot first guy. Selfish. Someone pointed out in the game thread Trey left the game with a sulky expression while the young Jazz were celebrating their first road victory this season. You don't have to be the hero, Trey. Just be happy your team got the W. The Jazz are trying to play unselfish basketball this year and you need to adjust, make the extra pass, share the ball and so on. 2. He has a high b-ball IQ and killer instinct. I bet he'll learn eventually and be an active and consistent part of this team. Give him some more time. 3. Dante cannot start now. It'd a big risk to take. Wait until he gets stronger, has more experience.

If it is true that he was sulking last night instead of celebrating the win, that is the worst thing about him right now. That is unacceptable. Lets hope it was not as bad as it sounds.

I would like to think that Trey can play somewhat better and be at least semi-adequate until Dante is really ready to take over. I personally don't think that is until next year at the soonest. He is performing well but just not ready for big time minutes and responsibility.
 
Can we merge this thread with the Chad Ford: Exum playing better than Trey thread? Seems redundant.
 
Yeah, I don't know. My faith is shaken but still there.

I am right there as well. In the game thread, I agreed that Mr. Burke's shooting is atrocious right now but I do believe he'll come around. There is no way he stays this bad.
