Will Trey Ever Shoot Over 40%

Trey is improving as a passer, but he takes a lot of shots and if he doesn't ever shoot over 40%, the Jazz have big problems at pg. This year he is shooting 33% from the field and 27% from three and he's been averaging 5 three point attempts a game.

Do you think Trey will ever shoot over 40% from the field?

In a season or a game?
 
Well he's accomplished the feat of shooting 40% in 25% (3/12) of his games this season. Maybe the next step is merely to shoot 40% or better in at least 40% of his games this season.
 
He would need to do 2% better than his rookie season. I don't see how he'll accomplish such a Herculean feat.
Well, CJ had four straight years of declining shooting percentages. Maybe Trey's ceiling WAS 38%/33%.

JK. As others have said, better shot selection, which includes taking it to the hoop more, would certainly help. Last night Trey made a lot of good things happen when he drove to the basket.

bad logic. these streaky shooters don't consistently shoot well. burke will have plenty of games shooting 30-35% per game. but he will have games where he shoots 50%. it will average out and he will be low 40% range next year. i think he will be similar to last year's % this year. he dug himself a big hole already. i expect him to be 38% range again

trey's gotten better at everything this year except his shooting. he just looks off. it's fixable. attack more and just be a PG.

Most players improve their shooting throughout their careers. The opposite is also true on rare occasions, but I think the question is ridiculous since Burke shot nearly 40% his rookie season. Trey actually has a very nice shot. It needs a tiny bit more arc and spin. He should also release the ball a bit earlier as he tends to wait until he's on his way down. Other than those fixable issues, he has a beautiful stroke, and his shot is very accurate. Most of his misses clank in and out as the ball doesn't have enough arc or spin.

I'd be willing to bet $500 that he'll break 42% before his rookie contract expires.
 
Remember that PG we had who shot nearly 52%/38%?

IMO, if Trey isn't shooting around 45% overall in the next couple of years he has to be replaced. Throw out Brooks and Jack (non-starters) and 45% would be 15th best for PG's thus far this season. Trey's still young, but his shooting HAS to improve. This table is from CBSsports. Obviously a few anomalies like listing Burks as a PG. And two starting PG's for Phoenix and Boston. Accurate enough, though, to see what the Jazz need from a PG.

so by your logic, john wall should be benched. cool
I dint think he said that.
I think he said that he thinks TREY needs to shoot 45% or be on the trade block.

Trey burke and john wall are two different players in different situations.

One of them has great size and speed and gets to the line alot (and probably averages more assists)

The other one is short, not real fast, shoots too much, and most importantly, has a #4 pick pg guard backing him that hopes to be the future star pg of the team
