yea its interesting. Burke has moved shift some of this 3-10 foot range to the 10-16 range. He's taken fewer 3s each year for the last 3 years and his long 2s 16-3 range has gone up. However his FG% for the long 2 is .591 this year. That is nuts. Maybe Burke is the Steph Curry of long 2s (just to spite Bonn).
Bottom line is his FG% says one very simple thing... he's getting the shots he wants. Dying to know how sustainable this is. Thrilled at the idea of us digging up a failed prospect and having him blossom on this team.

Yeah, even the best mid-range guys shoot in the 40s. It will be hard for Burke to keep his current pace.Let's just enjoy the ride while it lasts. To say the least, it's safe to say that Burke has earned a spot next season.
