Thus might surprise everyone but I like what Burke showed last year. His clutch shooting was insane. What I didn't like was the other 28+ minutes he was in the floor and he was a liability.

I would have preferred to see the Jazz shoot for potential last draft rather go with a safe pick aka Burke.

Hind sight is 20/20 but the three players I really liked last year (that likely would have been available at their picks) were Schroder, Giannis and Gobert.

Giannis is going to be a force in this league soon if it isn't this year. Dennis is showing a lot of promise during SL and we all know what Gobert is doing. Could you imagine if the Jazz had Giannis, Rudy and Exum on the same team? Talk about long and fun to watch.

Let's be honest though, no one thought Greek freak would have blossomed into the player he is now much less the player he will become as quickly as he has. He was one of the most likely busts in the draft. The potential was there and he has made amazing strides to reach it. Can't fault the jazz for trey in that draft. Trey was definitely the safe pick as you stated, but was also one of the few players you could definitely say will play beyond his rookie deal.

I don't disagree with you that he was a huge risk but I thought Utah is one of the few teams that could have taken that risk especially at 14.

I am surprised how quickly he has developed. I thought he'd be two years away from looking like he did during SL.

I didn't want safe at all. I wanted potential and Giannis is dripping with it, so is Exum.
 
Tony Parker played almost 30 minutes per game as a rookie. His role was limited, but he was out there doing those things, and slowly expanding his game. While I think Exum should start, I won't be surprised or disappointed if he doesn't; I'm only hoping for serious minutes.

Exum is nowhere near ready to start, but JLIII and Burke are backups and most likely always will be, so I voted to start Exum at PG.

take JLIII out please. i mean that's kinda retarded when you put JLIII and burke together

by your logic none of these guys are backups. Trey put up comparable or better stats than these guys in his rookie season in a corbin offense.

steve nash
mookie blaylock
mike bibby
andre miller
terrell brandon
nick van excel
rajon rondo
baron davis

and countless more. don't believe me? go look it up.

trey is the only player we have with starter handles. exum sure don't have it yet. Did you even watch Exum? he will make some spectacular plays, but he will lead the league in turnovers if he has full time PG job. you don't do that to a kid. Trey is basically about good 3 years ahead of him. wanna throw your future star into the wolves? let him play next to Trey. Trey is not ball dominant. lol.

We are not crowning anybody. Everybody is a subject to scrutiny. But it's trey's job to lose. and nobody is taking it at the moment. let trey learn the new system, let him go through ups and downs. if he miserably fails THEN you start somebody because he has failed under NEW SYSTEM.

again, i'm expecting 15/7 type of season from Trey. if he regresses or stays still then you bench him. Season hasn't started yet. remember that.
 
and those of you who accuse a guy who attempted 12.8 shots a game a BALL HOG should never discuss basketball.
 
trey burke under CORBIN LET'S MAKE IT TOUGH FOR EVERYBODY SYSTEM

worst 3pt shooter ever!! ain't even a rookie! no ceiling! bench his ***!!
 
Trey Burke has some experience. He will be starting along with Alec Burks.

Dante will be the combo guard off the bench playing 20-25 minutes depending on how fast he develops.

Once Dante proves himself......Then we can decide what to do with Trey or Alec.

Lets be honest he had good potential at 6'9", but now has superstar potential at 6'11". Just like Paul George, every GM in the league would have taken these guys top 3 if they knew that late growth spurt would happen.

Exactly. He had a ton of potential. I had no interest in something safe. Winning wasn't the goal last year. Pick a guy with an incredibly high ceiling and let him gain experience.

It's hindsight bias though. Lots of people liked the freak but only one team was brave enough to pick him. For every one freak there have been 5 or 10 Anthony Randolphs. After the fact people come back and say I told he'd be great... But we always forget the others we fell in love with that flame out.

Burke was a good pick... Will have a ten year career. We shouldn't cast him aside because we have a new shiny object. He's also being a total pro about it.

I'm telling you that I would have been one of those people to have taken him. You might now have, other might have passed on him but I would have pulled the trigger.

I was one of those who didn't see the potential. Wasn't that high on Burke, but my suggestion was to trade back for Schroeder and then take Gobert. Can't fault DL for they ****ty quality of the draft. It was terrible. At LEAST Lindsey hit a home run with Rudy.

Wasn't trying to say you weren't... Sorry about that. I just think when we play the we-should-have-picked-this-guy game our memories tend to be selective... Mine included.

Weren't you also over the moon with Saer Sene? How about Bismack Biombo (or whatever his scrub name is)? I remember people on this board crying that we needed those guys to prove we could "swing for the fences." One out of 10, those will work out for you. Fortunately Rudy is lucky number 10.
