Trey Burk is shooting .472% on 2 pointers and .351% on threes. That 2P% is incredible for a point guard, and his yoy improvement is fantastic.

For comparison, Chris Paul, the best mid-range shooter in the game, has a career .502 2p%
 
Burke has found a niche in the game he is good at and can exploit. If he works on that and slowly expanding from there he can have a long successful career.

Good for you Burke!

Is incredible the right word? I mean Darren Collison, Ramon Sessions, Shaun Livingston, Austin Rivers, TJ McConnell, Devin Harris etc. are all shooting >50% from 2P.
 
0.471% is terrible. I'd like someone who can hit more than 1 shot out of 213.

You're citing players who benefit from the system rather than creating the majority of their shots like Trey does. Trey gets assisted only 8.7% on fg 10-14', 12.5% on 5-9', and 15.7% on <5'. Ramon Sessions gets assisted 33.3%, 27.8%, and 48.9% respectively. Shaun Livingston is even higher assisted % (78.0, 40.9, 18.9, and also 100% from the 20-24' range).

Put Trey into those winning systems and he's likely to skyrocket his percentages just like any other player.
 
Funny how franklin ESPed my thoughts, though slightly differently. I logged in for the first time in a while to post something like "seems like Burke is playing far less than would be best for the team of late." Eyeball test made me want to look cause I've been quite happy with him lately. And this from a guy so ready to trade him after last year.

So checked and he's +54 over 418 minutes since the start of January which is VERY solid numbers. Not that I don't see an improvement in Neto as well, but with a +1 over 396 minutes in the same time period my gut feel from eyeball check seemed confirmed that Burke is outplaying Neto.

People thinking, it's chemistry with starters? Belief that Neto is better long-term prospect? Quin hate's Burkes D? Personally, I don't buy any of those but love to hear what ya'll think. Personally think Burke should be playing 26-28 minutes per not the 20ish he's been playing lately.
