It's an insider article, but Burke is ranked 30th, better than I thought he would be ranked. Maybe he does have some trade value left?

Burke is playing PF now?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Biffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

 

[nightmare3983]

Can you tell us the starting PGs Burke is above? It seems like there would likely be a few for him to be at 30th.

 

[mellow]

His 3pt fg% would seem much better if he was a pf.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Nah, just saw on Twitter he was 30th.

 

[ONE LOVE]

That title is misleading. He can't be "Best", being 30th in the league means you're the "Worst" starting PG.

 

[mellow]

Exum?

 

[nightmare3983]

Whoa. Trey is in danger of passing Kemba Walker (2011-12, .366) for the worst FG% in the 3-point era by a player qualified for the leader board. Trey is at .368.

It should be noted however, that in terms of eFG% Trey's season is barely in the bottom 100 of the 3-point era.

Exum?

Good question. I would like to know this as well

That title is misleading. He can't be "Best", being 30th in the league means you're the "Worst" starting PG.

It's not starting, it's just PG in general. NBA teams still consider him to be a starter, which is impressive.

 

[mhindy]

I mean, he's ranked below some pretty ****ty players. His upside is probably about mid 20s if he plays very very well.

Lol, beat me to it by a couple of seconds.

 

[Biggs]

I'd throw every penny of cap space I had at Goran this summer. It won't come close to getting him, but swing for the fences DL.

 

[The Blue Elephant]

That list reminds of just how deep PG's are in the NBA. There are some decent PG's in the teens and even the 20's. I wonder if someone posted the top 30 Centers how crap the last 10 or 15 on the list would be. I remember when even Hakeem was playing that he said he only had to play tough vs 4 or 5 teams because every other center in the NBA back then was crap.

 

[davidbenoit]

I think there are some in the organization that think Exum will be the best player on the team in the few years. No way they're going to sign a semi-superstar pg to take all but 10 of the pg minutes.

 

[ljnapoli]

I mean, he's ranked below some pretty ****ty players. His upside is probably about mid 20s if he plays very very well.

which wouldn't be bad for a backup considering anyone in the top 15 is very good.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Love Exum, and I'm not stressing out over his development until at least halfway through this upcoming season. . . but I'm not sure I'm buying that he'll be the best player on the Jazz unless he explodes when he's bigger. Knowing what we do about Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Burks and Hood. . . if Dante was the best player on the team, the Jazz will be amazing.
