I see him more as a Wesley Mathews with superior athleticism. Better shooter

Burks has always been a poor finisher

Burke had good length didn't seem to help him much. Hopefully Mitchell quicker

TNT
6/25/17 12:29pm
Also Burke had a wingspan of 6'5" Mitchell is 6'10"

Burks shot is broken. He'll never be a great outside shooter.

41% total fg% in 31 games. Pretty small sample size.

his career 3pt% is the same as Hood and Hayward

lots of wide open looks

more than Hood and/or Hayward?
smokymountainrain
6/25/17 11:50am
Hayward is the focus of the defense

there are similarities, but Burks biggest weakness is his defense, and that is

This is one of the reasons they grabbed him IMO
