Jazz guard Trey Burke scored 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and handed out five assists over 27 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Lakers.
Though Dante Exum's season-ending ACL tear is believed to put Burke in position to hang on to the starting job, his role was called into some question after Brazilian import Raul Neto shined both defensively and as a distributor in the preseason opener. However, Burke probably performed better of the two players on Tuesday night, and offers more appeal from a fantasy perspective due to his ability to put up points. Burke hasn't been particularly efficient over his two seasons in the NBA with a 37.4 shooting mark from the field, but if he can show even modest growth in that regard in 2015-16, he may be able to hold off Neto for minutes.
