One of the main reasons (aside from desperately needing a PG) I was hoping that we would acquire him was his attitude. He seemed to have a good work-ethic, strong leadership qualities, & ice water in his veins at the end of the game (all of which still appears to be true). The problem is that his physical limitations have prevented him from being as affective as he was in college, yet he has been unable (or unwilling) to adjust, not only his style of play, but his on-court approach/mentality. I still believe that Burke has the necessary skills & basketball I.Q. to overcome his physical deficiencies, but I don't see that occurring without a change in his mental approach to the way he plays the game. It could be pride or overconfidence in his abilities that has (to this point) prevented him from making the necessary adjustments, but if he's ever able to accept the fact that he can no longer succeed with the same mindset that helped him to succeed in college (which will be difficult, as it's natural instinct to revert to what worked in the past), he still has the potential to become a contributing backup (or possibly better) PG in the NBA.
If he's able to improve his decision making ability & look to deffer to his teammates (at least on occasion), rather than (seemingly) attempting to make every play on his own, he still has a future in this league & possibly on this roster. For the record, I'm not inferring that his struggles are due to his character (or lack there of). I view him as a team player, who (mistakenly) believes that it's in the best interest of the team for him to be "the man", which just so happens to be the role that he has had the majority of his success in & (not coincidentally) is most comfortable in. All in all, there is still reason for optimism, as his handling of his demotion from the starting lineup to the bench showed that he is willing to do whatever is best for the team. It's frustrating to watch him attempt to singlehandedly win every game, but if he's eventually able to make the necessary adjustments, those frustrations could end up being well worth it.
