You’ve got to give some major props to Alec Burks. If any member of the Utah Jazz had a right to moan and complain about things, it would be him. Between a frustrating injury history, an ever-changing role that has seen him lose his minutes entirely at times and the fact that many have blamed him and his hefty contract as a reason for Utah’s woes, it hasn’t always been easy during his tenure as a Jazzman.
Nevertheless, through it all Burks has remained a consummate pro. He’s shown nothing but respect for his teammates and the Jazz organization and has worked his tail off throughout his time in the Beehive State.
