A nice blog that Burke just wrote:
He idolized Iverson growing up. He was only 20 when the Jazz drafted Exum and it messed him up. He used to take basketball as a job but he loves it again. His whole attitude has changed since he got married. Likes being in New York. Says that he can score on anybody. |

He made all-rookie team, but not rookie of the year. Maybe he's developed. I don't see him making an impact, but I'm sure an injury will happen and he gets his chance. His problems come from defense and finishing on the NBA level. He always ends up taking Steph Curry type shots, but he's not Steph Curry. It's hard to tell if he's improved on that in the G-League level. His projected NBA stats this year in the G-League look about the same as they did earlier in his career.http://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/#!/203504/projections/?p=trey-burke Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
