Trey Burke has career shooting night with 6 threes in win over Grizzlies

Trey Burke has failed to live up to expectations with his outside shooting in his first two years, but he had his best night as a Jazz player, making 6 of 8 3-pointers for 24 points in a 89-79 win over Memphis Saturday night.

“He’s focused as much as anything. It shows up readily when you look at his shooting numbers. But the part you don’t see is at a timeout or at the free-throw line, how he’s communicating with a teammate.”

SALT LAKE CITY — During his first two seasons with the Jazz, Trey Burke has had a difficult time living up to his reputation as a shooter who can knock down 3-pointers like he did when he led Michigan the NCAA finals.
