It’s just preseason, but here’s the Salt Lake Tribune blog reporting good news on a key member of the Utah Jazz:

You don’t want to get too excited, because it’s preseason and there have been plenty of NBA preseason superstars. But Alec Burks just simply looks like a better player than he has at any point in his career. His passing is better. His ball-handling is better. His shooting is better. He’s more athletic, more explosive. He’s showing signs of being a great rebounder for a guard. Everything….is just better. Tonight, he had 10 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes. He’s getting anywhere off the dribble at almost anytime he wants. Again, you don’t want to get too excited. But, if this new and improved Burks translates to the regular-season, he has the potential to have a breakout season.
