Trey Burke is my new whipping boy

if trey can get rid of his usual stinkers every 4-5 games then he would be consistently avging 16-17pg per game in this league. but he always gets one of those stinkers which bring his stats down.
 
Quinn deserves some credit here too. Bringing Trey off the bench allows him to get into more pick and roll situation and 1-4 flat sets. He wasn't good in the motion offense because he dribbles too much. He is used to controlling the ball. I think he is more comfortable too.

Also props to Trey for not being a bish about it and having the self awareness that he might not be one of the best players of his generation. Him filling this role could be huge for him and us.

Welp, that prediction was a little off. And how about Burke? Not that I would have disagreed with Sir Stifle at the time.

Not really. Is Dante "ready" to start? Not at all. He's there because Snyder HAD to make a move with Trey. Burke was ruining the offense and Hayward wasn't even getting touches for long stretches of the 1st quarter. I remember so many times thinking to myself, "damn, Gordon, you're a max player - our best option on offense. Why are you non-existent to start the game?" And then I'd watch and see that it was due to Trey pretending he was Russell Westbrook.

Dante shouldn't be a starter with the way he plays on offense. I keep going back to what Lindsey said to Harpring right after the break about Exum being just a "placeholder" when he's in there. And I'm not sold on Burke yet. He's still a freakin' ballhog. Some of his wild shots have been going in. Can we expect that to continue? And even at that, his total FG percentage during this "hot" period has still been 40% - not nearly high enough.

I think we need to sell high on Trey. He's going to want t0o much money to return. And I doubt he'll want to be a backup. He'd probably want to go somewhere he can start. This summer or at the next deadline is likely the best time to let him go. I'd also like to see what Neto could do. He's looked impressive in the clips that have been posted.
 
If there anyone here that thinks that Trey Burke REALLY is our point guard of the future? He's a high volume shooter with a dismal %. If you guys are saying, "well... he's getting more assists", do you really want a PG that dishes 3 assists a game? He's fine for the 2nd unit, and as a 6th man off of the bench. Sure, I'll concede the fact that without Kanter we need more scoring, but when Burke is on the court with Favors and Hayward, forget about it. He just ignores them on offense. He's a good 2nd unit, first option off of the bench, but a starter for the future? You have got to be kidding.
 
Considering how much DeMarre Carroll improved as a shooter under Snyder's coaching, I'm willing to back off and give him a chance to elevate his game.

Knock, Knock, Who's there? Seriously?

Over 47% since the break. Only five games, but encouraging. He's been working hard on the floater and if he hits that with consistency it will change his life. And make him a lot more valuable.

Be patient. PG's take a while to learn the NBA game.

Jeff Teague didn't really turn the corner as a complete PG until his 4th year.

It took Kyle Lowry 5 years to cement himself as a starting guard.
