Largely considered a throw in piece in the Kristaps Porzingis mega deal, Trey Burke’s stint in Dallas was nothing other than a glowing success.

Burke’s NBA career was on life support when he arrived in New York in 2017, but he played himself into the rotation after a strong G League performance and steady play as a reserve guard.
