Free Agent Point Guards

Why isn't anyone mentioning Burks in the backup point discussions? He did a reasonable job last year. Not great, but not terrible either. I'm guessing the Jazz will go with Tinsley, Burks, and Burke.

I like this option too.
 
Calderon is still the best option to mentor Burke.
I doubt Burke will be starting right off the bat, especially with Sloan as an advisor.

Solid point guard, that happened to have a triple double last year while also working his way back to health.

Calderon is the best option of those listed. Give him a two-year deal. Burke will be starting by mid-season if all goes well. Also, check on the situation with Grevis Vasquez in NOLA.

Otherwise, give the time to Burks.

Jarrett Jack
The worry with Jack — as with so many other “buyer beware” candidates — is the idea of caveat to production. Jack averaged 15.7 points and 6.7 assists per 36 minutes in a reserve role last season, controlling the ball for the Warriors in crunch time and playing both guard spots. He played a prominent part in Golden State’s success, often by creating for himself and hitting big shots at opportune moments.

Jack’s knack for generating offense comes at a cost, though. Unseen passing lanes and unfulfilled alternatives are often bypassed in favor of a tough, contested shot. He finds angles into the lane but often fails to locate any teammate who isn’t immediately available in his field of vision. He makes some nice drop-passes to big men around the rim, but otherwise Jack doesn’t stray far from his immediate focus on the basket.

That’s a manageable limitation in some cases and a disabling flaw in others — a divide dependent largely on how a team chooses to use Jack. He’s a fine supporting piece but could run his team into middling efficiency if the roster lacks suitable ball-handling alternatives. He works as a sixth man, in part because of his ability to fill gaps at either guard spot. But teams looking to pay market value for the 29-year-old Jack (who made $5.4 million last season) will likely want him to play an even bigger role, and for that inclination one will overpay for a productive individual who tends to dominate possessions at the expense of team offense.

Word is Crobon is asking Dennis to go hard on Derek Fisher and Chauncey Billups.
