2016 All-Star break/Trade deadline

Better description of him here:

[QUOTE]He is a heady point guard who has posted a decent 28.3 assist percentage and a 2.83 assist-to-turnover ratio for his career. He will take care of the ball and be a nice addition to the bench, giving Utah some much-needed depth. He has shown the ability to finish at the basket[URL="http://saltcityhoops.com/shelvin-mack-the-newest-jazzman/#note-1"]1[/URL]. Mack can consistently knock down the mid-range jumper, but is inconsistent from downtown. He is not afraid to mix it up defensively, and uses his body well on that end.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]If the Jazz don't trade Burke, he will play a similar role in Utah, but he does have the size to play some at shooting guard, where the Jazz are waiting for Alec Burks to return from injury.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like to me he's more of a pg but could probably guard some 2's if they put him in with Burke. Snyder hasn't wanted to play small with Burke and Neto though.

[QUOTE]The Jazz will send a 2018 second-round pick to Atlanta in exchange for Mack, a 6-foot-3 guard.

[QUOTE]"Sometimes we forget that, since Dante's injury, we've been playing with two point guards," Snyder said.[/QUOTE]

Could argue Neto is their only pg. Hayward, Ingles and Burks play more like pg's than Burke. Hood is starting too as well.

[QUOTE]Because of some trade complications, Mack

[QUOTE]Chris Vivlamore: [URL="http://*********.com/social/"]Kirk Hinrich passed his physical with Hawks[/URL].

I haven't a clue as to how good he is. Do you think he's better than Burke?

Sounds like he's better in some respects to Burke. Gives them another option.

[QUOTE]Mack-truck comes in with some nice athleticism as well, and his 79.50" wingspan is only second to Dante's 81.50".[/QUOTE]

Jazz have to like that. His D looked good tonight.

[QUOTE]The height and wingspan and stuff like that remain static (unless Dante is still growing which we suspect).[/QUOTE]

Think they said earlier in the year he had grown. Rudy's wingspan got longer from working at P3.

[QUOTE]That doesn't mean Burke is an All-Star. It just means that he's had the best on-court, NBA career. [/QUOTE]

As long as efficiency doesn't matter to you. Based on tonight and the trade rumors I'd say Trey is playing his last couple of months with the Jazz.

[QUOTE]But when you look at the analytics, man, Burke is still coming out ahead more often than not. That doesn't mean he's implicitly good -- but out of this foursome he seems to be the prettiest girl at the Wasatch ball.[/QUOTE]

As I've said that is the problem with this guy. I don't think he watches the games. Trey certainly doesn't look as good as Neto nor has he ran the team or played D as well as Mack did tonight.

[QUOTE]The dumb thing is that whenever I do an analysis of these points on our club I end up seeing value in Trey Burke. Some of the more anti-Trey people that communicate with me do not spend hours of their free time looking this up though.[/QUOTE]

No they actually watch the games and see he is pretty one dimensional. He can score from the mid range. Not a lot else going on.

[QUOTE]has yet to take over like he did during [URL="http://www.sbnation.com/march-madness"]March Madness[/URL] a few years ago.[/QUOTE]

Pretty confident he never will.

[QUOTE]The goal this year is to make the playoffs[/QUOTE]

Who's goal? The front office would be ecstatic with the lottery.

[QUOTE] a goal that normal starter Dante Exum just can't help them achieve this year.[/QUOTE]

No on from the team has said that.
