Didn't say that at all. What I said is MCW will have no problem getting his shot off.

Then why did he have problems getting his shot off in the pre-season?

Look dude, MCW is perfect proof that shooting numbers in the preseason are 100% meaningless. If Burke has trouble getting his shot off in the NBA (lol) it won't be because of some ****ing summer league performance.


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.

Lololol what were MCW's averages? Also, what were Burke's scoring numbers? What were the stats of his team's offense? I'll give you a hint: it was appraised as the best offense in the country last season.

It doesn't matter because any jump shot he takes will never be a high percentage shot. MCW is 27 for his last 79, 34%, aka bust territory.

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).

I think it depends on who we get in the draft. If we get Parker or Wiggins, then we probably don't need a top PG. Burke will certainly be a better PG than Chalmers, and Miami contends. That is a special situation though. Right now, most of the contending teams have good point guards, like Parker, CP3, Rose, Westbrook, etc. The only difference in Miami is that LeBron is basically the second best PG in the league.

As long as we run Jerry's system, PG is our most important position. If we managed to land Wiggins or Parker we'd need a new coach.
 
Replace John Lucas III with Trey Burke. Replace Richard Jefferson with Jabari Parker. Go get a few vets for the bench.

Things will be better.
 
The worst part about Burke being out is that we still have to hear people bitch about something as meaningless as ****ing summer league. My god.
