I think 15. I don't really see Burke making much of a difference. My reasoning... Look at how we've been losing, hell even the win we were losing by 16 at one point. Burke is a 6ft shoot first pg with limited athletic ability, and the way people are talking its like they think he's the second coming of John Stockton. He's just a rookie coming off a fractured finger on his shooting hand. I already thought he'd struggle with his shot before the injury.
1 - He is very athletic.
2 - His height is smaller, his length is not.
3 - His game has NOTHING to do with Stockton's. He is a scoring PG.
4 - IF he can learn to get his shot off in traffic, he will be very, very good. He gets where he wants to go at will. He needs to learn to finish.
That's why I think the Jazz take a step back when he gets here, but a month later, take a HUGE step forward. Look at what the D-League PG did.
