Trey Burke is the perfect example of drafting by need.
Hopefully we've learned our lesson.

Was favors getting over the flu or something, he seemed disengaged most of the game?
Christopher looked really bad in the 5 minutes he did play. Sorry to see him get hurt but Clark can match his production.
Fervently wish Burke would have been the one to go down with injury. Horrible game. There comes a point where you have to take your losses, Jazz are at that point with Burke. Ship him for anything for the good of the team.
Even though Exum isn't an offensive savant, the team plays more cohesive with better defense when he's on the court. Why can't Exum get a start? Would love to see him push 30 minutes a game.

I am quite certain that DL and QS are not oblivious to this. I DO wonder what they are thinking about Brick. I have not heard his issues discussed by either of them. Caught a fair bit of the weekly discussion with DL on the radio and do not remember trey coming up in conversation, while Kanter and his D was. And can you imagine what it would do for Favors, Hay, Enes et al to have someone like Teague handling the ball?

That's just him. Some games he's into it, many he isn't. We need to accept that if we are to move forward with him as an anchor.
Perhaps getting 7 shot attempts had a bit to do with it. Hard for a big man to have an impact on O when the PG is too busy throwing bricks. Fav still had 11 rb and 2 blocks.

absolutely. Favors is talented, no doubt. That said, a dominant, aggressive big man would have called for the ball, created opportunities for himself to get the ball, etc. and if he didn't get it, he would've put trey in his place in when the time came. Favors does not have that in him, and never will, and I've come to grips with that. Favor's career will no doubt be filled with glimpses of dominance, but without the fervor that greatness requires, he will not be anything above inconsistent.
My point is that he shouldn't rely on the flow of the offense to get himself involved. Either he'll come forward and write his own destiny, or he'll defer to Trey, and take 7 shots. I've come to terms with the latter.

I wonder what it would take to get Shröder from ATL. I wonder if Trey and the next GSW pick would do it? That might seem like a lot, but I think we might come out better in the long run. We'll never get Teague... but his understudy (and a former Quin project) might be a good get.
I'm sure ATL is super excite to get Burke after last night. Probably ringing the Jazz up right now.

You've been up to your annoying old habits lately. Listen for a change. I've been paying really close attention to the Hawks the past couple of years.
They are playing above internal expectations right now. They are in mid-rebuild, and fully aware they don't have the talent to make a serious push for a championship. The whole project could come off the rails after this season if they can't retain Carroll and Millsap, plus add a serious piece. If they can trade their BACKUP guard and get a first-round pick, then I guarantee they aren't hanging up the phone. We might have to add something else, but the conversation is definitely going to happen.

Probably a lottery pick. #9 in the 2013 draft ought to do it.
