The Official Trey Burke Evaluation Thread

He looked as if he was trying to figure things out and it was slowing him down a bit. I only saw him in the Final Four in college, but he looked quicker and faster then, than he did today.

Well if you've been running the same offense for the past 6 months, and know your team mates' tendencies, you'd be quicker and faster too...

Dude wait until there is an actual offense being run that he knows with some talent around him. Defensively I thought Burke did well staying in front of his man. Offensively I think he was trying too hard at times to create for himself, but there were a couple drives that he dumped off perfectly.

Even Dwight around your lips Howard had a bad debut SL game.

You fellas need to chill out.

It's going to funny when he has all the haters eating their words.

I don't know of a single burke hater.
Lots of big al haters, cj miles haters, ty corbin haters etc etc.
I have yet to see a burke hater

I do however know of a lot of posters who watched todays game and said that burke played poorly IN TODAYS GAME but I don't think that makes someone a hater
 
I'm not worried about Burke. We knew going into the draft that he didn't have elite athleticism, but he sure seems to have enough to get by his guy, to play solid defense and to run pick and roll or pick and pop. He's had limited time to get ready and he was trying to lead the team from the first second he got on the floor as a Jazz player. That and his hustle to grab rebounds bode well for him moving forward. He's a good passer, a good shooter and he showed adequate defense and rebounding. Working with Kanter, Favors, Hayward and Burks will help him settle down and get his shot under control. Glad to see that when it's off he's aggressive in getting close to the basket and engaging defenders. He'll be fine. It was basically the kind of debut that I expected, but his shot was off.

I think that the Rookie of the Year hype has got Jazz fans expectations too high right now. There's going to be bumps and he's going to be under a microscope. He'll be fine. One SL game is no where near enough info to evaluate. He'll watch film, practice, get quality minutes and grow into the player many of us think he's capable of.
 
The burke apologists need to calm down.
It was just one bad game guys..... he will probably do just fine next game and then you won't see people discussing the fact that he played poorly and instead we will talk about how well he played.
Relax bros.... its ok to say he played bad right after he played bad.
I bet burke would even be critical of his individual performance today if he was asked about it
 
So insanely retardedly early to judge anything on Burke.

He looked terrible today, but not much worse than Hayward looked his first SL game.
 
So weird that this extreme doubt of treys abilities are in play after this game. I'm really shocked actually. He played against BETTER talent in college and dominated. One bad game....that is all you silly ****ing ********.
 
People on this board overreact in ways that never cease to amaze. The odds of Burke being a great PG in this league are not real high and never have been. Thinking he is not good after one game is equally as ridiculous. Hopefully what we got in TB is a solid PG who can get us into the offense, keep the defense honest by knocking down open shots, and a decent defender. If he is a serviceable starter that will mean a successful draft. I was attacked for saying I thought CJ was the better player and I still think so but Burke will be fine.

I think Burke just felt the pressure to impress the team that traded up to get him. I think he still did good though, he was trying to be a leader, talking to the guys and what not.
 
What worries me is if Burke struggles through Summer League we might be more inclined to sign a PG to start instead of a vet to come off the bench and mentor.
