I'm too lazy to really look up what shooters are actually available, but that's what I'd like to see KOC look into.
I'm not an expert on shooters, but here are some that might be worth a try:

Ghetto Blaster
Slippery Nipple
Purple Hooter
Redheaded Slut
Screaming ******


Edit: Pretty funny that words like nipple, slut and hooter are ok, but the "Big O" is taboo.
 
Pitch me. No one here knows Jodie as well as I do .. so curious to hear your take.

I could just see it now, a two-headed backcourt of Burks and Evan Turner. Both can handle the ball and take it to the rim. When inserted into the starting lineup for the 76ers last year the team starting winning. I can't find the stats but Turner stayed the starter. Turner rebounds like a SF (5.8), handles the ball like a PG and is a long 6'7".

Drawbacks are assists, and 3 Point%. Assists will rise the more he learns the PG position. However, the 3 ball is a bit concerning. Him or Burks needs to be able to shoot.

You can call him a 1 or 2 and Burks the other. Size will be a huge advantage over any backcourt with a lineup of Burks, Turner, and Hayward. I see shooting needs to be addressed, hopefully in time, but size is still there and can't be matched.

Let's hear why/if you think Meeks is a better player.

I was actually saying I don't think Meeks (though UK) should be getting much love. For mostly the same reasons you've outlined, I think Turner is BY FAR the better player. Much more complete (scorer, rebounder, passer) and just overall much more sound. I think he can become a fringe all-star player.
 
Verlin, the biggest troll on here. Give it up man. Neg me 10 times for nothing and then send a friend request. Grow up.

He is definitely the better player of the two.The question is, as far as the Jazz go, does he fit? I say yes. I am underlining him and Burks playing together. At times, Burks scares me with how aggressive he is at the rim but the kid is going to be a star. I believe a backcourt of Burks, Hayward (who is going to become a solid shooter), and Turner would be solid for years to come. Assuming Milsap is at the 4, who can also spread the floor and Favors playing the 5. Young, tall, athletic, long, and tough. Sounds scary!

I'd like to see if Millsap and Jeremy Evans can expand their games out on the floor. I'm also interested to see what impact Mo and Marv have. Unless some obviously great move comes up, we should probably see what this new mix of players look like during the first 10 - 15 games of the season. Also, we should probably look at bringing in an offensive coach to work with Corbin like Phil Johnson did with Jerry Sloan.
