It seems like the Utah Jazz have been lacking a 
game-changing shooting guard for years, so using their 
second 2011 lottery pick on Alec Burks made plenty of 
sense. After starting the season with sporadic 
opportunities to get on the court, Burks has received an 
uptick in minutes as of late. Let’s have a look at Burks’
successes and struggles in his rookie season so far.

  爵士隊長年以來一直缺乏一位能扭轉局勢的得分後衛,
  2011年的樂透簽用在Alec Burks上並不意外.
  隨著開季零星的上場時間,Burks逐漸獲得留在場上的機會.
  本篇將一窺Burks在新人球季的一些優缺點.

Isolation

What was a strength in college has not manifested as a pro. 
So far, Burks hasn’t spent much time in isolation 
situations, but when he has, results have not been good. He's
averaging only 0.52 points per possession in isolation 
according to mySynergy Sports, and his low shooting 
percentages are consistent across all of his isolation 
shots. Burks is shooting 29 percent on shots at the rim and 
30 percent on jumpers outside the lane. The good news is 
that Burks is not settling for jumpers and is getting into 
the lane on over 60 percent of his isolation possessions. 
Based on his ability to finish in non-isolation situations 
and in college, Burks should eventually learn the nuances 
of dealing with NBA big men. He'll need to learn this 
because his jump shot has been a weakness since college.

  單打

  大學時期時為強項的單打能力，未能轉換到職業級的比賽中。
  雖然使用機會不多，但結果不大妙--PPP只有0.52
  低迷的單打命中率平均地分布在每個出手距離，
  籃框附近29%，禁區外為30%。
  所幸比例上有60%切入禁區，而不是流於外圍跳投。
  從他非單打時的finish能力看來，Burks應該能找到應付NBA大個兒的方法，
  對不擅長跳投的他來說，這是門必修課程。

Rebounding

Coming out of Colorado, Burks was the second best 
rebounding wing in the draft class. So far, he hasn't lit 
up the defensive boards, but Burks has made an impact as an 
offensive rebounder. His offensive rebounding rate is 
better than the average small forward, and he has done a 
good job turning those offensive rebounds into points. He 
ranks 39th in the NBA in points per possession on offensive 
rebounds. When Burks finds himself waiting on the 
perimeter, he doesn’t give up on the play if the pass 
doesn't come. Instead, he has done a good job sneaking behind 
the defense to clean up errant shots.

  籃板

  科羅拉多出身的Burks是當屆選秀梯中籃板第二好的側翼球員。
  雖然防守籃板上斬獲不大，但在進攻籃板上展現其影響力。
  進攻籃板率還高於聯盟小前鋒平均，
  而轉換為得分的PPP甚至排在聯盟39位。
  值得嘉許的是，他在外圍等不到球時，也不忘偷溜撿籃板。

Cutting

Burks has been average on his possessions coming from 
off-the-ball cuts, but he has a knack for drawing fouls in 
these situations. This was a strength in college, and he's 
been able to draw fouls on over 30 percent of his cutting 
possessions in the NBA

  走位

  Burks在空手走位上表現平均，但有30%以上能製造犯規。
  這也是大學時期的強項之一。

Spot-Up

While Burks has shown good court awareness off the ball 
while rebounding and cutting to open spots, he needs to 
improve his perimeter awareness when spotting up. About 
fifteen percent of his spot-up possessions are shots with 
his foot on the three point line. These mistakes aren’t 
caused by any defensive pressure, Burks just needs to do a 
better job setting up for his shot. He is costing the Jazz 
points by taking these unnecessarily long two-pointers. 
Burks hasn’t shot the ball well from three point range 
this year (it was a weakness coming into the draft, as 
well), but in spot-up situations, he’s shooting 43% on 
threes. Move back an extra inch and shoot the three, Alec.

  定點投籃

  Burks在籃板和跑位上都展現出優秀的視野，
  但仍需加強定點投籃的掌控。
  沒有防守壓迫時，15%的定點投籃是在"踩"三分線上的，
  過多的遠距離兩分球讓球隊平白損失一些分數。
  雖然Burks三分線命中率並不漂亮，
  其實單就定點投籃，他的三分命中率有43%。
  所以拜託多退個幾吋再投，好嗎？

Passing

Burks no longer dominates the ball like he did at Colorado, 
so he isn't expected to create shots for his teammates in 
Utah. His assist rate is well below the average shooting 
guard. However, he has shown some of the court vision that 
he displayed in college, particularly in the pick-and-roll.

  傳球

  Burks不再像大學時期一球在手，
  因此也不用期待他為隊友製造出手機會，
  他的助攻率也因此遠低於聯盟得分後衛的平均值。
  但還是展現出不錯的視野，尤其在 pick and roll 上。

Alec Burks has a long way to go to become the player the 
Jazz drafted him to be.  His struggles as an isolation
scorer are new to him, but not many rookies are able to 
handle NBA help defenses with ease.  What is encouraging is 
his ability to get to the paint and to make an impact off 
the ball.

  Burks離爵士隊的期望還有一段差距，
  單打上的困境是他首先面對的課題，
  雖然對大多新秀來說，應付NBA的補防並不容易。
  但還是有最令人亮眼之處，
  像是切入禁區的能力，和無球時的威脅性。
