He has freaky BB scoring, dribbling, passing skills and is charismatic on the court. Why would smart be a better PG pick?

Woah dude, slow down :hihi:

lillard and burke are nothing alike besides being clutch and good shooters, lillard is way more athletic and explosive, burke is a better passer

Agreed. Burke will have a similar working blowup though.

At this young an age, Burke can be better than Lillard currently is.

How do yall feel about Giannis Adetokoubo SF from greece? 6"9, super athletic, many people are comparing him to Scottie Pippen. hes projected in the 12-15 range.

I'd temper my expectations, but he's gonna be really solid.

From the highlights I've seen, He screams fundamentally raw. He has it all though. Size, Length, Body Control, Fluidity, and Athleticism. But he has a slow first step and his strides are short for a man his size. He has some serious potential. He needs 3+ years of development.

That dude is a freak of an athlete. It'll be interesting to see where he goes in the draft. He looked extremely raw in the video. Like Aminu raw. He's certainly got the potential to be big-time.

Just a bit sick of the word potential...

Oh. This guy again.

Yeah. Those hands. The alien ones right? Sorry. A foreign player is a foreign player until they do something of note likes Rubio or Gasol. I don't get wet in the pants over Michael Pietrus like you do obviously.

Wow. Said he grew 3 inches in the last few months ? I think this kids going to be 7' easily and he's pretty fluid for that. Stupid raw though. A guy if you don't like anyone on the board you take, let him play in Europe for 3 years and bring him over.

He reminds me of a mix between pippen and lebron, and no i DO NOT mean he is or will be that good but he is super athletic, great handles, great passer, great defender, great body control, great size, needs to work on his jumper
He is only 18, just turned, no doubt in my mind his jumper will get way better and he hasnt even tapped his athletic potential. I love his potential, and yes he will take 3 years to develop but i mean i really dont see us winning a championship in the next 2 years...

I'll take credit for being the first to bring up that kid.

Congrats. I wonder if he makes a mark in the NBA.

Hey, he's still in the game, just watch and not be sold! gonna be hard He'll perform and break Syracuse's Zone D.

Everybody's something and Trey Burke is now IT ( and a FR!!) , for me at least. plus we could REALLY use what he'd bring, more than Porter or Shabbaz over Aminu, or Smart over Rivers, Vasquez, or Roberts, or Noels over AD, or McElmore over Gordon.... Watch him outscore Syracuse.

Man Darius Miller is shooting 43.3% from 3 this season and in the month of march for 10 games he is shooting an absolutely insane 73% from 3!!! Combine that with his crafty moves, great passes, great size, high IQ and good D, I really like him, he only just turned 23 and is only 4 months older than damian lillard.
Not saying he is gonna be our long term starting SF but he has earned the minutes.

Oh and I forgot he is shooting 100% from the FT line and has a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio.
Can u say steal of the 2nd round?

He's assuming the mold of the player we all expected him to become.

Based off the video, yes I like him. But that is the first i've seen of the guy. I'd honestly rather go with Porter, Burke, Smart, or Bazz. I think with them and Noel and McLemore we will have our choice between the 6 and I got all the "potential" I can handle with Aminu and Rivers. Just give me someone who will produce and i'll be happy.
