Who is Excited About Trey?

Trey has really improved this year. Impressed by him. His shooting % is still a stroke. And he'll go 2 and 12 every once in a while. But he's developed whole new facets to his game, is working hard. Want to see him next season. Could be a very good backup pg during Dante's development.
 
I thought last night was another good showing. There were only a couple of questionable jumpers. He took some three's that he absolutely had to, but he still ended the night with above 40 fg% and 40% from three. 4 ast in 25 mins too.

Rhonda, if you're reading this, kiss your son.

The problem is that his good shooting nights are < 1/5 of his games. You make it sound like he's regularly putting up 20 on 7/10 shooting and the "rest" of us are harping in his occasional 5/13 outing. But the fact is 5/15 is pretty much his norm, with the occasional foray into 40%+ territory. If it's being a "hater" to look at the evidence and then ignore an outlier as anything other than that, an outlier, then I guess I'm closer to the hater's camp.

On his best nights, he is a top-15+- PG. On his worst nights, he is third string or D League.

I'm a broken record, been saying this since he was drafted. His ceiling is average starting PG, his downside is average backup PG. If he finds a way to be consistent he can have a role on the team at a reasonable price. Consistency is a combination of conditioning and mental.

Any player taking more than a dozen shots a game will always have the potential to be a good scorer.

His potential as a scorer has nothing to do with the number of shots he is taking and everything to do with the skills he occasionally shows.

Almost every player in the nba can show some occasional skills.
That's why they are in the nba

This is very true, but not all of those players are skilled at scoring or are a 22 year old in their second season either. But I get what both sides are trying to say.

I just take exception to what seems like the consensus on this board that Burke is tapped out on potential and just simply can't significantly better. His two biggest issues are those you consistently see the most improvements in with young players. Shooting and defense. I would say shot selection is third and that's something that's easily correctable and often times is impacted by a players teammates.

Good post.
Also, I was never a trey fan, even on the day we drafted him, and have been quite a trey hater often enough.

In the last few months (especially the last few weeks) I have seen improvement from him and that improvement has lighted a spark if hope in me.
