While tonight's game is still in fresh memory, I wanna point out that we're paying Alec about 11 million over the next 3 years. The Wizards are paying a 31-year old Ian Mahinmi 16 million over the next 4.
Uhh, the Jazz only have Burks for this year and next.

Burks has always been my "player I irrationally love". I'm afraid of what's happening to him... I might have to drop the irrationally part.
Burks was never a good defensive player.... in fact based on advanced stats he was one of the worst defensive wings in all NBA. But this season Snyder worked some magic into him and he is playing his best defence ever so far. I am not too worried about offence, he was always a good offensive spark of the bench, but it is his defence which will either make him or break him.

It's pretty simple - you don't play defense, you don't play for QS.
Burks has more than enough ability to at least be adequate on defense - he never was before because he never played major minutes for a coach who demanded it from him (see Corbin).
Fish returns to Jazzfanz and Burks struggles... Maybe Fish's fandom is too much for Burks to handle? His best games were while Fish wasnt on here.
