This season Burks is over 14 ppg @ 27 minutes.
Per 36 he is averaging 19 points per game.
It's obvious that if you play Burks starter minutes (33 ish) he could average 16 points.
Technically you are right that so far he hasn't though

There's also a reason he DOESN'T play starter minutes, and I would believe Atlanta would know that, and would definitely not consider Burke a "proven...16ppg player."
Edit: and it's 18 per 36. You don't round 18.1 to 19.
Most people here thought Burke wasnt even a rotation player, now they think he is a 16 ppg player.

Basketball reference.com says 19.0 ppg per 36 this year. You don't round 19.0 down to 18.
With korver, millsap, and horford spreading the floor and Atlanta playing at a faster pace than the jazz (more transition opportunities... Alec is great in the open floor) I think Burks would thrive in that lineup and score 16ppg easily.
Just my opinion
haterism at its dumbest.

Yes that is a team in the top 5...lmao.... Yall know the word homerism right? That is not a top 5 team.. Also to get into the top 5 you best have a bench... I mean on paper the Timberwolves have a starting lineup better then this.. The game isn't played on paper however.. I swear some people play to much NBA2k on this site.

How am I hating? Did I ever say Hood was awful? No I didn't. I think he will be a fine rotation player in the league for years
When at first you don't succeed try, try again.

Teague's had an off year, and Hood's projecting well as a sophomore. So one trending down and one trending up when both exist in the mantle soup that's below star and above scrub level NBA players colors opinions.

Don't I always
Burks definitely is the better scorer and can definitely project to 16 ppg under correct circumstances. But again, as I read it, fans of Atlanta say they need SF players. Burks isn't it.

Even though ATL is making him available I still think it'll take a decent package to get him. I don't think a combination of Burke/Burks/picks would be enough. I think any one of Hayward, Favors, and Gobert are too valuable so that in my mind leaves only 1 name to get the deal done: Hood.
They do, to improve !!! You can't just expect to improve in the general carrying of the game without proper PG play, just improvise until suddenly when you are ready you get a good pg and it all fits great... 8ml per for 2 seasons is a great bargain to get moving in the right direction structure of play wise.
