I sorta like that third guy who hasn't improved since he was an 18 year old rookie. Well, he improved at the dinner table, so that's something, I suppose.
But...but... he still has potential to be a star 20 PPG guy in the league right?
CJ's problem has been his inability to handle the ball. He can spot up and he can slash a bit, but he has a hard time creating. He also doesn't shoot well off the dribble.
Miles and Bell are both useless. Both can't hit a consistent jump shot, or play defense.
Burks defense is poor too, but I have faith in his offense.

Burks.
He can learn to play defense.
Raja and CJ cannot learn how to play defense and offense.

Even though that is mathematically impossible since there is only going to be 66 games this year, I have a feeling that Ty Corbin's blind and unrelenting love for Bell will somehow end up overpowering all Laws of Physics and Nature and allow him to somehow start Bell for 70+ of the possible 66 games.

Let's just keep playing Burks in garbage time so we can boost him stats for ROY.
It's not his defense. I just don't think he is mentally ready to handle starting yet. I understand people wanting to throw him in the fire to see what he can do, but i think he needs some prep work and marinating first.
What makes you think Burks will be any different? I mean he was not a good defender in college. He looked way too lax to me. I'm willing to give him a chance now, but he hasn't shown me anything yet to make me believe he will defend at this level.
I guess I'm hoping that eventually he plays adequate defense, and is an elite or really good scorer. I can live with that.

You can always make Burks' "rotation" be the 1st 8-10 of the 1st and 3rd (we did that with CJ a couple years ago, Chicago did it with Bogans last year, etc.).
But that's not really the decision. Bell hurts us much more than any of the other 4 do. So Ty's only decision should be who he starts ahead of Bell next to Hayward, and then which 2 guys play the second unit. So if he'd rather Howard/Hayward or CJ/Hayward start to keep Burks on the second unit, that's fine.
I would say CJ would be my choice as starter now. I like the streak outside shooting he brings. He always played better as a starter last year also.

Bell starting 70+ games means we at least make it to the second round of the playoffs
