All this time we were waiting for Dante to be our Kobe and now we see that it is actually Trey who has a chance of reaching Kobe level of... whatever it is that he did today.

Trey becomes just the 5th player in the last decade to shoot 2-19 or worse
I know it's trendy to make fun of Kobe's chucking, but comparing Burke to one of the best players to ever play basketball...
Burke falters against upper level PGs. Yeah he can beat Zach Lavine and Mo Williams, but anyone approaching a top 15 PG is going to wreck him.

And I thought Allen Iverson was a ball hog.

... That is his favorite player.
Never let an Iverson homer be your PG in a pass-first system.

Hey, at least we didn't draft MCW. He would have gone 2-20!

HA! AI was one of them (though, he was one from a decade ago in 2003)

But remember...Trey is CLUTCH. Sit him with 5 fouls until the last 5 minutes of the game. Championship for sure!

I thought there was a lot of positives tonight. A depleted Jazz team played their hearts out against a veteran team that is playing their best basketball of the season. Exum played well on both ends.
The Favors/Gobert front court gives me a basketball boner. That's some of the best interior defense I've seen coming out of Utah in 15+ years.

Damn Trey, just.. Damn.
There was an unbelievable amount of positives tonight. Trey just **** on all of them.
At least it's only a one game road trip.

I really like Dr. Q but Enes is really the only player who is held accountable for defense. Trey can be the worst player by far on the court. On defense as well as on offense but he will get his minutes no matter what.
People are saying Enes can't defend the PnR but look at Trey for a second. Most of the time he is so far away from his man that the big(Derrick, Enes or Rudy, doesn't really matter who) have to stop the ball handler and can't recover to their own man because of that. And it looks like the big screwed up!
I'm sorry but I can't take his lazy *** on defense. He can't fight through picks, doesn't put pressure on ball and he even loses his man off the ball w/o screens or anything. I said it before and say it again everything starts at the top with the PG. If he is getting beat over and over and over again your defense is screwed because you try to rotate and have to scramble after just 4-5 seconds.
So what exactly does he bring to the table again?
