Trey Burke
Trey Burke comes into this year’s contest with the luxury of being a defending champion. As part of last year’s thankfully abandoned team format, Burke partnered up with Damien Lillard to come out victorious.
After a highly decorated college career as a Michigan Wolverine, Burke landed in Salt Lake City where his rookie campaign saw him play his way into the 2014 All-Rookie First Team.
Although Burke has a lot of skills left to hone in his all-around game, he definitely has all the talent necessary to leave a lasting impression as a repeat champion.
This season Burke is averaging 12.6 points, 4.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 31.5 minutes per game.
