Alec Burks will lead the team in bench scoring and will be a top five 6th Man of the Year candidate
“You ready for a molten lava hot take? One with so much fire, you hope not to be called an arsonist later in the season? Here it is twitchells and Mitchells…
Alec Burks will lead the team in bench scoring and will be a top five 6th man of the year candidate.
‘But Jared, how can you be optimistic about an oft-injured guard who we’ve barely seen the last three years?’ Okay, legitimate concern, but his injuries were usually caused by other players.
He got a really bad deal from Paul Pierce. Dangerous play from an over the hill Hall of Famer playing for the most Jazz hatingest squad last year. (I don’t blame them if they hated Gordon Hayward; they were probably right to. Haha just kidding.)”
