He has only had 1 turnover in his last 110 minutes which is a positive.

So what's the jam?

This team isn't making the playoffs. Trey knows what he's doing out there, he just isn't hitting shots. Keep bringing along Dante at a reasonable pace. He still has a lot of little things to work on.

Solid post.

You are right, we are making it all up. Trey is actually shooting like Ray Allen on a hot streak. Facts don't matter.

Ray Allen has had some historically bad slumps in his career.

Ray Allen has had some historically bad slumps in his career.

And some historically good ones. Let's not compare Trey to one of the greatest shooters of all time, please.

LOL...comparing Ray Allen to Trey.
Please tell me when Ray Allen ever shot 38%/33% for an entire season. Also show me when he followed that up with 31%/22% through 9 games.

Clearly some of you don't know what a comparison is. I never said Burke is anywhere on par as a Ray Allen. However just pointing out even the best of the best struggle.

Ray Allen is a 18 year vet and he shot under .400 in a 6 game span once! Trey in his second year already has 3 different times where he shot under .400 for 6+ games ...

I think we all understand that Trey is struggling. I don't think he's a 30% shooter...I'm just not sure if he'll ever be consistently above 40% as a starter.

Its fair to carry that opinion. The stats (unfortunately for Burke) agree with you at the moment. The problem with Trey is that he's shooting treys so poorly as it such a huge percent of his shots.

Precisely. Trey is not as bad as he's been (at least I think he isn't). But I haven't seen any evidence that he'll ever be much better than last season. And having a starter shooting 38%/33% is just not going to contribute to any wins, not if that player doesn't offset those numbers with lockdown defense (something which Trey can never do).

The problem with Trey is that he's shooting treys .

Did he get cloned and then attacked by said clones? That happened to me once.

Which is why he isn't good enough to be an NBA starter on a winning team.
