Reading the Tea Leaves

Both shot poorly. But MCW is 6'6". Trey isn't even 6'0." Difference is Trey had difficulty even getting his shot OVER people. It wasn't a matter of just missing shots. And it's not like Trey has outstanding quickness. There have been many successful guards 6'0" and under. And almost all of them were lightning fast.

So essentially, what you're saying is that we shouldn't pay attention to MCW's pre-season shooting performances, because they were meaningless.

Thank you for confirming my point.
 
Trey came in at almost 6' 1" without shoes if I remember right why does everyone keep saying he his under 6 foot?

One thing that I feel pretty confident about is that Lindsey has the balls to act swiftly when he sees an opportunity to improve the franchise.

KOC was like that in a sense (DWill trade) but also hedged his bets waaaay to many times.

I could see Lindsey trading anyone really.

Different mandates. KOC was instructed to shoot for the playoffs every year. Lindsey has been given the reins to rebuild as he sees fit.

5'11.75 w/o shoes, which is taller than Kemba Walker, Chris Paul, Ty Lawson. 6'1" with shoes.

I got an inch on him. In more ways than one.

Didn't say that at all. What I said is MCW will have no problem getting his shot off. He isn't giving up 4 or more inches to his opponent. Even if a SG or a SF switches off, MCW still has the size to get off a jumper. Burke needs to get his shot off early. And forget about driving inside. It just isn't going to happen. Burke was an ok shooter in college: 45%/36% but there's nothing special about those %'s.

I love Burke. He'll be fine. He's a better fit for our team also.

At this point, any point guard other than Lucas and Tinsley would be better. Tank you very much!

I do love me some Burke though. I just keep thinking about him blocking that shot in the final four.

In any case, even if he is just 6', Trey had difficulty even getting his shot OVER people in the SL. It wasn't a matter of just missing shots. And it's not like Trey has outstanding quickness.

Yeah Trey slipped 50k in their pockets before the combine measurement and told them to fudge it.

Yeah just looked it up. Sorry

I've seen Chris Paul, and Trey is no Chris. Nor is he as fast as Lawson. Kemba is a volume chucker. IMO, there is virtually no chance Trey ever becomes a top-10 PG. Maybe he'll slide into the 11-15 range. MAYBE.

No argument there. I'm just saying I doubt Trey can be a PG for a contending Jazz team. They'll need to upgrade at some point (pun intended).
