DALLAS — Early in the first quarter Friday night against the Grizzlies, Trey Burke crossed over his defender and drove hard to the rim. For a second, you could likely squint from your seat in the arena or at home on the couch and remember the Trey Burke who was the talk of college basketball at one point in his career. Burke easily got the rim after his move and was fouled before he could finish the play.
Then, as Burke shot his free throws, you sit back and realize this crossover came against a Grizzlies team as far away from the playoffs as the team Burke is playing on.
