Why? Mainly because he doesn't think that Burke can create the on the ball pressure that Monty wants. I think that's asinine and Burke will be a VERY pesky defender in the NBA.
And ANYONE who saw that block last night (which was NOT a foul) would be totally crazy to not realize that Burke is very athletic. Only a handful of PGs in the NBA have elite speed, you don't have to be a roadrunner to be a great PG.
