“Putting in too many young guys on the floor, I think, is a disservice to them,” Williams said after practice on Tuesday. “You have to have some really good vets who know how to play. They settle us down a little bit, their voice is good on the floor, they know how to space, they know how to make the right plays. I told (Burks) today he got it going a little bit. I told him that’s who you have to be. You have to be yourself. He’s been defending and competing, and that’s something that we value.” -via Detroit Free Press / October 11, 2023
Alec Burks. Similarly to Bogdanović, Burks is a proven veteran who could play on any team in the NBA. A professional bucket-getter, Burks, a career 38 percent 3-point shooter, enters this season on an expiring contract and, also, will regularly hear his name in trade rumors leading up to the 2024 NBA trade deadline. -via The Athletic / August 14, 2023
