October 22nd - UTAH JAZZ @ portland trailblazers (8pm MST)

Burks would be my first choice, I'm not as enamored with him as others seems to be. He is a pretty good scorer but he also does really stupid selfish things pretty often. There are a lot of good scorers that don't help teams win, not saying Burks is that guy yet but he easily could become Jamal Crawford 2.0
 
For liliard? After last night I'd give them Favors or Hayward, and I'd do it now while they still have the illusion of 'potential'.

So much for the 3rd year leap.

How many stupid, selfish, things does Burks do in comparison to the rest of the team? The league? TIA.

Well coming in as a rookie and doing the same amount as starters in 10 minutes a game last year isn't great. All players do them, maybe his are just worse, or maybe his stand out more for some reason. I still feel he could go either way.

So he did as many stupid, selfish, things in 10 minutes as the starters did. That is a very interesting stat. Link?

Burks from last night: 17 minutes, 5-8 from the field, 1-1 from 3pt, 3-5 from free throw line, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, and the team was +10 while he was on the court.

Doesn't look like he was too stupid/selfish to me.

I should neg rep you, but i have never neg repped anyone before and im not going to start yet..... Soon though if you continue to post such stupid and selfish posts like that one.

In all seriousness though, are you saying Burks and all Jazz players and even NBA players do the same amount of stupid things? Where is your link if recorded facts are your barometer on this subject? I would say that he takes more bad shots, makes more bad passes, etc in less time than other jazz players, yes I would say that. I mean he is no CJ, he is very skilled and he gets to the line, but he is also out of control often.

Mon 5/7 vsSA 16 minutes 0-8 from the field 0-1 from 3 4 rebounds 1 assist 2turnovers

All - Star give him the keys to the team and let him drive us. Good post though.

It's easy to pull up one game and make a point isn't it.

As I recall in the SA game Burks was blindly driving into the help and forcing shots at the rim. Last night he took good, on balance, under control jumpers and got the rim when the space was there. I think Burks is slowly recognizing where his scoring opportunities are in a NBA game. IMO defensively he has long way to go with team/help D. Watch Burks and then watch Marvin Williams.

May 7th? dont be silly bud.... We are past last year when he was a rookie and didn't get playing time.

He had a great summer league, a full offseason and camp to work on his game,and so far in the pre-season has been fantastic.
His outside shot has looked MUCH better, he has been playing more under control and passing the ball much more/better than last year.

In last nights game i remember 2 times when he could have (and probably should have) got to the rim and scored and he passed off instead. The jazz anouncers even said a couple times that burks should have shot when he choose to pass instead.... He isnt as selfish and out of control as you remember him from last may.
