July 12th, Summer League Game 5: Jazz vs. Pacers *3rd place game* 10 AM ET

Burke appears to be not trying to do too much from the box score. For those watching, is that true?

He's feeling out his shots a little better IMO. Made some really great passes in this one and his jumper has gone in a couple of times. One of his misses may well have been a foul on the defender as well.

Nice game for him overall and Gobert is beasting once again.

Yes that's true. Much more composed. Making the right pass, making the right play. Looks much calmer, less rattled. Shots falling also helps.

I think he'll be OK.
 
his passing game is helping him to be more open for his jump shots. its amazing what happens when you look to pass. magically the d has to guard you and watch for your pass....
 
Oh man, I take it back. Burke has come alive! I see him as a Damian Lillard type. Don't you think? He could easily average 20 pts next year as a rookie once teamed up with Hayward and burks.
 
Don't worry about his shooting^ that will come in time, the biggest thing I've been impressive with is that he's a pure point guard who takes good shots.
 
The whole team is playing better. I like what Mays has done. Stockton and Neto are running the offense. Burke is more under control and isn't jacking up shots. The man of the hour though is Gobert. He had a nice baseline drive. Two nice blocks and a bunch of rebounds. Gobert has also made a couple of nice passes. McNeal has also looked good overall.

If Neto can't come over this year I would keep Stockton and then bring in a vet. Oh wait McNeal is under contract. I don't know if he is a PG but he has some skills. Hopefully, Burke is calming down and will go to P3 for fitness and then head up to Spokane for some Stockton tutoring.

I don't like his form though.. it's really Rubio-esque .... not a solid shot at all. I do think he needs 1 more year in Europe and really working on that shot.

He does everything else well, but in the NBA if you can't shoot, you're Earl Watson.
 
The Slovenia guy has a high BB IQ, he likes to pass the ball. Still raw but he might be a guy you keep an eye on or sign and have him play in the D-League.

Would you call Rubio and Rondo, Earl Watson? Or Tony Parker during his first couple of years?
