Trey Burke Highlights - 2014-15

This can't possibly be the slow guard with no ability to get around opponents who is being discussed in another thread. Where is the real Trey Burke highlight video?

In other words, clearly Burke has the tools that haters claim he lacks. What he needs now is better decision making and greater accuracy. There is hope that he could develop into a valuable piece, especially because we are only looking for a backup.

David Locke mentioned that Burke led the league in FG attempts taken late in the shotclock. Maybe that's partly his fault for not creating a better scoring opportunity, but conventional wisdom says he can improve his percentages by cutting down those attempts.
 
Black Jesus has a spot with this team, and this community.


Utah needs him, and He needs us.


BJB, we continue to embrace thee. Carry us to the championship we so lust for.


In your name, Amen.
 
Crazy how players look really good in highlight videos.
 
The only thing that annoys me about his game is his decisions in fast-break situations.

The dude looks to score like 90% of the time, even when he has trailers. He's honestly making good decisions in the half-court, he just can't get it to go in. Still hopeful he figures it out though! Let's see some early DJ Augustin numbers Burke!

This is definitely true, but it is also true that very rarely do highlight videos show players doing things they cannot do. Burke repeatedly does what people say he cannot do in this video.

He has enough athleticism to shoot 40 and 35 from the field IMO. Also, his passing and PnR play is underrated. Like, Exum's got him beat on lobs (and most other things) but Burke has real good pocket passes IMO.

Highlight videos are just that...a handful of highlights from 82 games. Let's make a video of all 2,288 mins he played. Then, mixed in with the 9 mins of highlights from this video, we'll get the Trey who missed nearly 70% of his 3's, the Trey dribbling down the clock to futilely drive to the hoop against multiple defenders, the Trey completely ignoring wide open teammates so he can average 13 attempts per game, just slightly less than Hayward (who SHOULD be taking that many!). There are probably 50 PG's in the league who can make just as compelling a 9-min highlight video.

Give me a PG who can average 44%/37%, pushes the ball up the court on offense, looks for his teammates BEFORE looking for his own offense and stays in front of his man defensively most of the time. That's all we need in a PG.
