Q+A: Alec Burks
Discussing the future of the Jazz at adidas Nations.
by Nima Zarrabi / @NZbeFree
“Again, he's such a nice young man. But you want him to have that killer
instinct. You want him to step on the floor and just feel that I'm the best
player on the floor right now, because he's capable of doing so much. But I
think over time he'll get there.” — Utah Jazz assistant coach Sidney Lowe,
Salt Lake Tribune, July 13, 2012.

SLAM: What aspect of your game did you focus on improving this summer?
AB: I feel like I worked on everything. I didn't just want to pick one area
and my other areas lack. So, I feel like I had to work on everything to get
better.
SLAM: How would you evaluate your rookie season?
AB: I feel like it was up and down. At first I didn't think I was getting as
much playing time as I should. But we had some injuries and I had a chance to
show my talent and I felt like I was good toward the end.
SLAM: What was the most difficult aspect of your rookie year?
AB: Probably the learning process. I thought I was going to play a lot more
than I got. The adversity—that was probably the biggest learning adjustment.
You're coming in like the man and you're thinking you're going to be the man
again. It's not like that; you got to build your way up again.
SLAM: Not getting the minutes was frustrating.
AB: It was, but I understood. I still had to pay my dues. It was probably
more frustrating for the people around me that thought I should be on the
court. I look back and I understand it will make me a better player.
SLAM: You have said that you would like to have the same type of growth that
Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors showed during their second year. What did
you mean by that?
AB: Gordon and Derrick took big leaps during their second year and they
became great players. I'm just trying to do the same thing. I want to take
what I learned during my first year and become a better player my second year.
...
SLAM: Who were some of the guys you competed against last year that may have
opened your eyes on how much harder you have to work in the League?
AB: There's a lot. It's Kobe, Dwyane Wade, James Harden — they showed me
that if I keep working hard, maybe I can be at their level.
...
SLAM: You guys are the only professional sports team in Utah. How's that
work out?
AB: We're like the Beatles there. Everybody knows you since we're the only
team in town. They love the Jazz out there. They pack the arena every game
and it's a great experience.
SLAM: Can you go to a restaurant in SLC without anyone noticing?
AB: It's crazy. They're tweeting, taking pictures, want autographs. But I
love it when somebody knows me because of what I love to do.
