Today is Alec's Birthday
Today is the birthday of Utah Jazz starting shooting guard Alec Burks. I love this guy, and his NBA ready skill as a former #12 pick. Historically, it's the guys who can step on the floor and excel at something that stick in this league -- and Alec has been hard to handle for defenders. He can create his own shot, penetrate with or without the assistance of a pick. And more than anything else, he's excellent around the basket, often finishing impossible layups or getting to the line.
