I strongly dislike the idea of Oladipo playing off of Gordon. Victor is a guy who'll mostly need a true PG finding him to max his offensive production.

I don't think Oladipo will have nearly the offensive impact in the NBA that he does in college. He really takes what's given to him and doesn't do much else.

Im curious to see how GR3 does. Hes a top 8 talent who has basically lacked any killer instinct whatsoever up till this point. Lets see if he can keep up his good form as of late. As for Burke; i already know what he can do.

Yeah ive got the same problem with him. His offensive game is not developed enough for a junior in college. He could be a fit for another team though. Very good defensive talent

the oddest thing is that was exactly what his strengths were coming into the league. Anyways while I know shooting can be improved it's not as easy as you are making sound as if it just comes naturally. With many it unfortunately doesn't. And with some coaches they would rather work on strengths the player has and leave the basics alone. Hate to use the Aminh example because I don't feel they are comparable at all, but Aminu has about the funkiest jump shot. Has no coach tried to change his shot yet because it's ridiculous.

I don't care about lineups. I don't care about positions of need. You take the best player available and go from there. Small ball lineups. Bring him off the bench until he improves his jumper. Whatever the plan becomes, you take the best guy on the board. If that's Oladipo, then that's who I want. The rest will sort itself out.

So I'm curious, what's your big board? I agree if he is BPA we take him, I just don't see him being BPA around where we figure to draft.

Word is Shane Larkin may be leaving Miami and enter the Draft. I don't know his draft value, but I think he'd be a great fit for us. Quick, great court vision and can shoot when needed. Any takers maybe?

I'd take him. He's a younger more skilled Roberts.

Late first probably.

Man I don't get what is mclemores problem. Every time he gets the ball. Unless he's open for the 3 he passes it right away man. The other 3 guards take it to the hole and create their own shot. It gets me so dam upset man!!! I see the potential for the greatness but it's like he's almost not into the game or has no confidence. Almost plays scared at times man I swear. Burke on the other hand tho is a dam beast!!!! He wants the ball and creates his own shot at will. Super tough kid that can shoot the 3 as well but does everything else well also. Mclemore is playing better now but it's still open 3s or a break away dunk. I need to see more from him in the big lights.

Mclemores lighting it up from 3..his shot is something of beauty!! I just wanna see him attack off the dribble more that's all.

Man michigan Kansas game is crazy!!! Burke is a warrior!! Win or lose he is a dam good ball player and will be awesome in the nba.

The kid has range. He wasn't getting a better look with youngs long azz on him. He had to pull up so he had a lil open space between them. Very good shot.

Wow!

Insane.

Give me TREY BURKEEEEE!!!!! That was one of the clutchest comebacks and shot by a player I've ever seen

That is just insane!!!!!! The boy Burke is climbing draft boards as we speak!!!! I bet this dude goes top 5. I don't see 5 players u take in front him. Just no way.

Hahahahahaha oh my goodness!!!!! Was up man? Remember we was saying this is a must watch baby!!!!!!! The boy Burke is the truth!!!! I love the shot cause he had long armed Johnson on him. If he didn't pull up to shoot he would of had to force up a bad shot with young all over him. Not Johnson young I meant.
