Trey Burke – Rice

By far one of the most underrated Thanksgiving dishes that many people have on the dinner table but don’t like to admit because it’s not a traditional dish is rice. For the most part rice is an excellent dish because it goes with any meal on the table. For the Jazz, Trey Burke is wildly underrated because he isn’t even starting over point guards that he’s better than.

Nevertheless, like any great dish such as rice, Burke can fit it with the starting unit as well as the second team. His game is very adaptable and he’s able to come in and give the team a huge spark off the bench just as the natural sugars in rice do.

This season playing in an auxiliary role off of the bench Burke has averaged 10.6 points, in 21.5 minutes per game. He’s also shooting 44 percent from the floor and the three-point line.
