Why is Trey Burke leading the team in FGA again...

Because people are passing him the ball in positions where he has to shoot.

Trey Burke is so annoying.


We would be so much better with a better point guard. Damn he is terrible.

Lol I guess I should read the thread before commenting.

Yep. That one shot he had to take. Other than that, he's dribbling into traffic with no clue what to do.

Back to reality:
1. Jazz need a starting PG.
2. Gobert is improving
3. Jazz can't shoot.

And Dante is FAR FAR away from being a decent rotation player. He didn't even come to help Rudy on the play Gobert palmed the ball. You're a PG, DAMN IT! Complete non-factor.

Rudy is playing like he's coming for someone's job. We have an interesting dilemma. Who's he going to replace? He has to start soon, right? Next year?

Even before that if you ask me. He's the one who shows that he wants to win the most.

 

[Siro]

Teams give Burke all the space in the world to get a shot off. What do you expect him to do? Pass up a wide open shot? Any NBA guard would have to take those shots. He just happens to really suck at it.

Not only does he show he wants to win the most, but his game is actually conducive to winning.

Have you seen Payton play? I feel like if Trey decided to play like him and absolutely refuse to shoot 3s and long 2s, even if wide open, that would help him be much more effective and he'd actually be looking for better opportunities to set up his teammates instead of looking to get his shot off.

 

[SojoDave]

Trey never met a shot he didn't like.

 

[Primetime]

I want a win but it is also our 4th game in five nights on the road. So that sucks.

Let's see if they still have something in them...

 

[Hotdog]

Rudy comes off as really smart. You can see it in his game. He isn't just all length size. He actually looks like he understands basketball.

I like how he keeps getting mad at the other players for not passing to him. Im irritated by it too.


I feel like he's gonna be our leader and best player before long.

Payton is that long and athletic Orlando guard? Trey attacking the rim is a skill that he just "added" this year. If he does not take long shots, he will absolutely fail at the driving game. Defenses will know he's not taking the shot, and will be ready for his slow and stunted penetration attempt.

 

[SojoDave]

Kanter blows, trade him for someone while we can still get something for him.

 

[Stifle Tower]

He replaces Kanter. Gobert/Favors lineup actually came back a bit until no one could hit shots on the other end. For all this talk about Kanter, Favors just comes in and gets the job done.

IMO, only two of our current starters should remain starters: Favors and Hayward. Gobert replaces Kanter; a veteran PG replaces Trey and Jazz upgrade somehow at SG, with Alec becoming our 6th man.

Kanter, Hood, Burks and Exum is a pretty good bench.

 

[MT Steve]

Because people are passing him the ball in positions where he has to shoot.

I don't mind that. But there are times, often, where he calls his own number on offense when his TS% doesn't come close to justifying it.

The thing is... they already do sag off of him and prefer to guard him against the penetration! They already leave him wide open on the perimeter and don't seem too bothered when he launches brick after brick.
