I don't think anyone thinks Trey will be as good as Lillard, if that's what you're inferring.
Shocking.Evans was annihilated!
Lillard had two years on him. I'm not saying that Burke will ever be Lillard, but two years is a huge deal sometimes.
I don't know if it's just me, but I can't visualize the game at all from Locke's play-by-play.
It's not a play by play at least half of it is banter. That is not his job!!! That is why there is a secong announcer. Locke sucks
Like 90% of Jazz road games in Portland are total disasters.
Does it really take an NBA coach tinkering with a lineup to find out Evans comes off the bench?
I'm not claiming I have the slightest clue why Ty did what he did.. but I sincerely hope it was something other than plain stupid.
I've seen Lillard play and Burke is no Lillard.
Burke wasn't terrible. But he'll learn a lot from rewarding this game.

I may be reading something that isn't there, but I get the feeling that Corbin just doesn't like Kanter and looks for any reason at all to stick him on the bench. My basis for this feeling is the way Corbin rides Kanter when he makes a mistake ... I rarely see him do that to any other player.
alec burks from 2011-2013 shakes his head and licks his lips in response to this...
That's always been my slant. Maybe a top-15 PG. I would not be surprised down the road to see Burke used as trade bait. Can't keep and pay all our players. Maybe offload Burke and a couple of firsts for a veteran PG if/when the Jazz are among the WC elite. Or who knows...perhaps Harrison falls to us in the darft.That seems to be the case, but I'm willing to give Burke two years to develop. Burke will never shoot as well as Lillard--that is for sure! My gut says middle of the road caliber pg for Burke. There are just too many good pgs in the NBA.
I'm wondering if we could ever have this as the lineup:
Starting
Burke
Hayward
Rush
Favors
Kanter
Bench
Burks
Jefferson
Williams
Evans
Gobert or Beans
