Trey Burke G League POM, may get another NBA chance

As a Knicks fan, Michigan fan/alum, and Trey Burke fan I'm really hoping he gets another shot at the NBA. Seems like he's improved his shooting and penetration (competition caveats apply, but 30 ppg and 44% from 3 this month!) and I think he could score and pass in the NBA, but ability to keep up on D with taller/faster guys is the big question mark.

Trey is responsible for my all-time favorite UMich bball moment outside the 'chip.
Well done, sir!

Sorry but his best play was rejecting the Louisville players shot at the rim.... the ref erred and called foul, and that was the game... but that was, in my opinion, his best play... had the ref not got skittish and auto-called the foul, it'd have gone down as one of the greatest plays ever.

GRRRRRR it still stings seeing that, knowing the outcome.

old. Recall watching that with family on vacation before we went to dinner. Very fond memory.

IIRC, Manny also tore it up in the D league but wasn't able to do much in the NBA. Maybe Trey's game will finally mesh with the NBA but D league success doesn't mean you are fit for the NBA. It's painful to think what could have been had Trey, Nik, GR3 etc had stayed at Michigan.

The Knicks have a roster problem. They want to call up Burke but have no spots available. Only one player has a non-guaranteed contract so they're looking to make a trade of some kind to free up a spot. If they can't trade by the 10th or waive the one non-guaranteed PG by the 7th in time to clear waivers by the 10th, Burke can be picked up by any team. So... it sounds likely he will be on an NBA team by mid-month.

The NY Daily News says the Knicks own his rights but will lose them on the 10th.

Sometimes I wonder if there's more to the reason why Trey is no longer in the league. He was seemingly blackballed in Utah and Washington.
