The only real negative thing I see with Burks is that sometimes he is too overly anxious to make something happen when he gets the ball.
I think it's one of the thing holding him back from taking minutes from Foye. He needs to show a little more maturity out there and pick his spots. I think (hope) that will come with more minutes. I think he thinks he has to prove himself right when he gets on the court, and that hurts his performance sometimes.

A lot of people have been saying that about Westbrook for the last two years in the playoffs haven't they? No one has called him a bust, I just said I could possibly see him becoming a Jamal Crawford type player. Lots of shots, lots of points. Or he could become a killer two guard and could be great. Or he could be very average his whole career. There are a ton of possibilities.

when his team went to the WCF and the Finals?
He has already proved you wrong. He's way beyond Jamal Crawford.
He's already had multiple All-Star appearances, two gold medals, etc. So, what is it you were trying to say?
My post wasn't about what KennyKnuts said. It was about the fact that Westbrook had gigantic question marks for a couple of years. I just don't see the point in complaining when a young player breaks his man down with his own dribble and then makes a mistake. At least he has the potential to break his man down--which, on this jazz team, is a rare skill.
