Guest commentary: What we talk about when we talk about Trey

In 2013, Trey Burke was considered by many Utah Jazz fans the steal of the draft, but it took just one game in 2015, 16 minutes really, to begin the "Trey Burke is not the answer" conversation.

Utah Jazz fans don’t hate Trey Burke. They hate themselves. Maybe that’s too harsh. They hate that they were wrong.

As Tyrone Corbin led a mishmash of young up-and-coming players and aging could- and should-have-beens to ninth in the West, Trey Burke was becoming a household name by taking the Michigan Wolverines to the NCAA Final, becoming the South Regional Most Outstanding Player, part of the NCAA Final Four all-tournament team and the Finals’ leading scorer.
