I can`t think of a single year that we wouldn`t be extatic with getting the 2nd highest scoring sophomore with the 9th pick in the draft - except for this one...
Trey Burke is 2nd in scoring among sophomores

and he's never going to lead a winning team the way he plays and with his physical limitations unfortunately. As an example his lack of basic understanding of when to pass on a fast break is staggeringly bad for a 1

That is like saying you have had sex with the second most amount of women out of every member of Jazzfanz (behind me of course). Nothing impressive considering the rest of the competition.

Not just that, but more shots than points scored means all the women looked something like Rosie O'Donnell.

If he wasn't horrible ineffecient it would be amazing. If he maintained that PPG on 4-6 less shots a game...then that would make him much more of a threat.

Not all that impressive for either of you since all of the women are from Provo...

As much as he has seemed to improve some in recent weeks, we really need to take a step back and see.
1) More shot attempts than points is historically awful especially when you take as many shots as he does despite being a point guard
2) He's an awful defender
So what's to like? He knows how to run a team? But does he really? He takes sooooo many shots.

The move to the bench has been good for the team but possibly bad for Burke's growth. Utah needed some scoring off the bench and he certainly brings that, as he becomes the focal point for the second unit and doesn't have to share the ball with Hayward, Favors, or Kanter. However, being the focal point of the offense doesn't help his shoot-first mentality. I am surprised that CQS hasn't reined him in at all. Starting or off the bench, he is still shooting more shots than Hayward and that should not be the case.

He has good Assists/TO ratio. Probably the most important stat for a PG. He is an ok passer I guess? Scoring and defense is really important too and he needs to improve that as well.
After a check with the basketball referenc site, it turns out he's not the only one, which comes to confirm just how bad of a draft that is:
MCW: 554/552
Anthony Bennett: 247/246
Ray McCallum: 130:125
Bennett's numbers are probably most shocking since he's a big and is supposed to have much better FG%...
He is good at not turning the ball over. Still not enough assist, too many shots.
Maybe... but Minnesota might have one the trade. Shabazz could be a legit #2 scorer next to Wiggins for future and Dieng could be a legit starting center or certainly a top back-up center.
