Pulled a few Q&A's from a UM Hoops interview after the draft...
Q. Trey, were you bummed at all that you slipped past Detroit? And obviously what was the emotional roller coaster you went through in that maybe 20 minutes from knowing no Detroit, then Minnesota and then Utah?
TREY BURKE: I think the only reason why I kind of got a little nervous after Detroit is because I didn’t really work out for any teams after that. I didn’t know how far I was going to slip back into the draft.
So I was just waiting for someone to call my name. Like I said, the Timberwolves called me, and I got traded five minutes later. I don’t know what to really think right now. I’m happy to be at Utah. I’m just ready to get my career started.
Q. Trey, we’ve talked a couple of times about you needing to land in a situation to be the leader. You’ve got a young guy in Derrick Favors and Enes Cantor, Alex Burke. You have all the tools. Are you the guys who is going to bring the playoffs to the Utah Jazz?
TREY BURKE: I think I’m definitely capable. I just needed the opportunity. Utah, the Miller family and Coach gave me an opportunity to try to help this team win. I’m looking forward to it.
Q. Trey, you had eight teams pass on you. One team trade you. You were lower than you thought. Is that fuel for the fire at this point?
TREY BURKE: I’m happy where I’m at. It’s a blessing to be in Utah and playing for the Jazz. I think the type of player that I am, I definitely get motivated by things like that. Teams passing up on me. Not knowing what to expect at the end of the day.
So I definitely think it will motivate me. It will make me get in the gym more. Just get better, continue to work hard.
Q. Trey, congratulations. Can you take us through what was going through your head from the moment you were selected until now with the whole trade and who you were talking to?
TREY BURKE: Well, it was kind of a shocker that the Timberwolves selected me. So I was kind of thrown off a little bit. I was happy at the same time. I was excited. I got to walk across the stage that I’ve been watching since I was a little kid. Once I found out I was getting traded, it was kind of like, what do I do? I had the hat on and everything. So I didn’t really know what to do. They told me to sit in the back room until it was confirmed. Now that it’s confirmed, I’m happy to be in Utah.
Q. Trey, how do you see your game translating to the next level? And with the pieces around you in Utah, would you prefer to play up‑tempo like a lot of you guys did in college or would you prefer to be more of a half‑court team?
TREY BURKE: I would prefer to be pretty balanced. I know I have some really good shooters around me. I think with the guys that the Jazz already have, we can get up and down the floor as well. But I think I’m going to be a guy that’s going to bring the winning mentality to the team, that can make plays. And can get his teammates involved and score when I need to score and hit the open man when I need to hit the open man. I think it’s a feel for the game that I bring to a team like the Jazz. And I’m looking forward to helping them win.
Q. There was a recent report Karl Malone is going to be helping out with the organization this upcoming season. Talk about what he might bring to the table in terms of teaching and working the pick‑and‑roll with the Jazz.
TREY BURKE: He can teach me a lot. Especially reading the bigs, setting the screen, reading a big that’s guarding the screen. The screener. Just giving me a lot of input about how to become a really good pro. Karl Malone is an all‑time great. I can definitely get a lot of feedback from him.
