The case for Trey Burke

[Chris]

Furthermore, let's say Trey doesn't make the improvements that I hope he does... If the Jazz move him and call Neto up, they would potentially have a terrific situation at PG for the next few years. As Exum continues to develop, Quin will have the luxury of having two good backups with complementary skill sets.

If he needs a scoring punch and speed, he puts Cotton in the game. If the situation calls for a more traditional point, Neto goes in. This is the kind of flexibility that will serve the Jazz going forward.

and neither of those two will shoot the teams out of a game

Both are too much to ask.

I am anticipating a CJ Miles-ish trajectory. Meaning down. Would be surprised if he hits better than 34% overall this season. I would be happily surprised, but surprised nonetheless.

Hahaha freakin' Miles. That dude balled last year for Indy actually I think.

Looking up stats now.

Ouch <40% from the floor for CJ last season.

It is hilarious how some of us saw this coming while others on this board could only view him as the second coming of MJ. I don't think we have had a more polarizing player as far as this board was concerned. One 40 pt game against Washington or whatever it was and he was suddenly Basketball Jesus. Too funny.

It is also funny how he is billed as a shooter but he has proven year in and year out that he cannot shoot. Weird.

Although I wish that Burke could become the shooter that CJ is. That would be an improvement for him.

Kinda sad, right?
