Chad Ford: Exum > Burke right now; rookie player that's most positively surprising

[Flc]

Between his comments and his, ummm, overexposure, I think Trey's days in SLC are numbered.

I'll be pissed if we part ways with Trey because of the pictures. The entire country was in an uproar when the photos of all those Hollywood actresses were leaked. For that to be branded as an attack on women (which it was) by the media, on one hand, and then a month later having a male basketball star forced to apologize to the public for what appears to be a similar violation of his privacy is a ridiculous double standard in our society.

I'm still not happy with the Millers for insisting on that, even if it is a team in Utah.

We should part ways with him because he isn't the best point guard on our roster and wouldn't be happy in a bench role. But not because of the pictures.

I still believe in Burke.

 

[The Midnight]

I still believe in Burke.

I do too, but only as a solid starter at this point. He has yet to show me that he has a single elite skill that you need to shine in the NBA.


Exum has already shown me several: Good length for the position, Quickness, Elite court vision.

Yes, that's the primary reason. But his character also plays a part. From the nude pics to making fun of that guy on Twitter: it all adds up.

It is far to early to give up on any of them. I want to see what Snyder can make of them after a full year.

My timeline of patience for Burke and Kanter is more like by Christmas.

Same.

Fair enough. But we both agree that 7 games is to soon.

Size/length isn't a skill, it's an attribute.

 

[The Midnight]

Size/length isn't a skill, it's an attribute.

Alright, but what elite attributes does Burke have?

I never said he had any. In fact, I never mentioned Burke at all…so why are you bringing him up? I was simply correcting you.
