For much of Utah’s season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Burks was the second-best player on the floor behind OKC’s Kevin Durant. He finished with 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting, to go along with six rebounds and six assists.
Utah ended up dropping the game to OKC by a score of 101-98, but that shouldn’t take away from Burks’ impressive reverse and all-around game.
