Im' wondering where his minutes come from even if he does come back.

Hill/Mack/Exum/Neto... He's not playing any PG.
Hood/Ingles He could see time here, but, at the expense of Ingles or Hood??? It's really tough to break in vs. those two. Maybe if Ingles comes back to Earth.
Hayward/Johnson ? Maybe. Johnson has been pretty good for us and Burks is a lil small for the position, but, in certain matchups this might be his best chance to see the floor.

Long story short, even if he comes back healthy I think you are looking at an 8mpg guy. Until we suffer the next injury anyway.

It was tweeted that after his workout tonight he dunked the ball while passing it between his legs mid air.

I expect him back shortly lol.

I witnessed a bad *** windmill dunk before the Dallas game.
And he was working out for a long time before that game and I, being the big Burks homer that I am, watched closely. He looked great. Ran great, shot the ball great, elevated great, cutting great.
He has to be close.

I think he takes minutes from Hayward and Hood to be honest. He's a starting caliber player, and it's a long season. I think Quin will want to rest them more when we're at full strength.
 
Burks has been trade bait for the past two or three seasons. He got hurt every time. Not many GMs will give up a well adjusted, skilled player who' s bought into a team concept to trade for a injury prone, overpaid, inexperienced Burks.

I say bring him back let him play 30 minutes a night and let everyone else rest. When he gets hurt again in the second week of February, the rotation can go back to what it was.
 
Jazz should go at least 5-1 over the next 6 with the squad they have healthy.

@ Warriors
v Kings
v Raptors
@ Lakers
v Sixers
v Suns

Let Burks and Hill continue to rest. Then they go on a 4 game road trip starting 01/2/17. Send Hill and Burks with the team and they start playing. Start the push for the 3rd seed(forget the 4th seed)

Jazz end December with a record of 23-11

Overpaid certainly isn't true.. He's in the 20's on the list of highest paid SG's beneath names like J.R. Smith, Tyler Johnson, Aaron Afflalo, Courtney Lee, Austin Rivers and Monta Ellis..

Burks contract the next 2½ seasons is in fact a ridiculous bargain, Kentatious Caldwell-Pope is going to be looking for double Alec's salary this summer. He can play minutes at PG, SG and SF for a majority of the teams in the league there's not many players who can make that claim.
