Trey Burke NBA Draft Prospect Video

Don't know if this was posted.. but I found this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxvTfRc

Your link's messed up Silver, this one?

Here's one while we're at is that has a very in depth look at him, personally. One of my favorites, shows his fire and passion.

I'm sure Russell Westbrook and Stephon Curry are impressed with his fire and passion.

I don't really get the point of that comment whatsoever.

I don't know. Something about he's not an elite athlete or as good a shooter as Curry? It's a confusing post indeed.

I would be happy with Burke, he became the guy I want from that video

Burke was my #1 want since December. Would love to have him here.

No I'm not confused, just don't get the point of being a condecending you-know-what. He's insinuating that "fire and passion" won't make him a good defender against those guys.

I tweeted him, I feel proud

And neither Curry or Westbrook are amazing defenders either

Wrong foot out of the bed today? :hihi:

I just don't get the love fest. That's all. We have honest and frank discussion about every top draft pick including Nerlens Noel who is pretty close to being the universal #1 pick EVEN with an ACL injury.. yet any Trey Burke dissent is shot down. It's mind boggling.

To Purple Haze, wasn't trying to be condescending TO YOU... but your comment just agitated my dislike for the reasons people throw around to defend him. Unless a guy literally quits on you... You can't really measure someones heart, intangibles, or "it" you can only see when its NOT present. Clearly, Trey Burke has something. So does Oladipo, Porter, Len, even Shabazz. So do guys currently excelling in the league... Curry, Westbrook, etc. A lot of people have IT. That's why they are be considered to or already play in the NBA. Let's talk about the facts and how the facts project to the next level without all the unnecessary bro-mance. I love coming to PelicansReport, I just think we can "do better" and "come correct" when it comes to debating. Just my personal opinion, not directed at anybody.

Forget CP3. I want TB3.

It should be an interesting year (should we land Burke). I want Burke as much as the next guy, but if we draft him, next year all those people crying about GV taking to many shots, and playing hero ball, are going to be silent when Burke does the same thing.

i want tb3, he just has that IT factor, he's a winner.

If fails at it, it'll be surprising because he could be counted on making big plays in the clutch at Michigan. Those shots in the Final Four were the stuff of legends.

Trey is pretty cut for his size.

I think he could be better than Chris Paul. #6 maybe our magic number.

Lofty words. Time will tell. I can only hope he gets the chance to prove them true or false wearing Pel blue, red, and gold.

There were certainly things Paul did better leaving college and he was considered the better pro prospect. However when you consider Paul was the better prospect going into college and Trey's career exceeded Chris' I think it's possible. Just not very likely.

This guy is such a safe pick. I just can't see him failing.

I'm with you on this. I don't even bother to argue it. Burke is good player but he, like all the players in this draft, is not a sure thing.

Yeah, Steph Curry's defense won't likely scare Burke either so ...

exactly, curry isn't a good defender really but he is a great player and i think any gm in the league would take him.

burke was 2nd on the team in blocks and had 1.8 steals per 40 mins, plus in the video he looks tough as nails and fights hard on D. he will be the best offensive player from this draft, not many players can shoot, drive, pass, hit the 3, and run the pick and roll and push the fast break. he is by far the most complete offensive player in the draft. he has a rare skill set, plus 6"1 with a 6"6 wingspan is more than good enough!

No draft pick is a sure thing (look at all the busts in the top 5 picks over the last decade), but Burke is as safe as any I can remember. That's not to say he's going to be a super-star or even an all-star (though I think that's possible), but he's a guy who is obviously dedicated to the game, has good leadership skills and instincts, who was the national player of the year in college and whose measurables were all solid. Barring injury, the odds of him busting out are low and the odds on him at least being a solid starting PG in the league for a decade on the level of Mike Connolly or Jeff Teague are high, which is pretty good. The next Iverson or Chris Paul? I'm not seeing that. He's not that kind of freak talent. But if you're looking for some one with all the tools to run your team and be a good pro, I think Burke is a solid pick. Guys like Bennett and Shabazz may end up being better but their bust potential is also higher.

Are you really ready to compare Steph Curry to Burke... Defense doesn't matter when you are THAT efficient...and that's what kills me about you Burke lovers. Ready to throw out the Steve Nash and Steph Curry comps when the truth is they are first of their kind. Do you know how preposterous it is to think that some random message board is seeing all world potential that no other talent evaluator is seeing? Really? A weak draft, in which the near consensus #1 pick has a torn ACL and is only 19 and you guys think we can get a Steve Nash, Seth Curry, Tony Parker clone with the #6 pick.

LOLZ

The draft being weak means that no players of worth will come out of it? Good to know.


Draft Burke, Demps. If he's there, get the man.

no such thing as a weak draft because no one ever knows what will become of a player, if that was the case their would never be any draft busts or gems in the late 1st round.

Tell us, great lover of facts, how highly were those players rated coming out of college and where were they drafted? Well, Nash was drafted #15, STeph Curry #7, Parker #28. I don't think many people expected them to become the Hall of Fame caliber Point Guards they have shaped out to be. But they did. They had the potential to. And then they worked hard and were put in the right situations to succeed. Burke had a great college career that compares well with (if not better than) the amateur careers of those three guys you mentioned. No one wants him to be a clone of anyone; he's said himself he wants to be the best Trey Burke he can become. But who's to say Burke can't come into the league dedicated in the right situation and succeed?

P.S: you mentioned Seth Curry in your last sentence...That dude ain't in the in the NBA. Projected to be a second round draft pick this year. #lolz

2nd round especially. I mean Marc Gasol was passed on 47 times and now he's considered one of the best bigs in the league.

That kinda logic is what makes people say "He was drafted in the 2nd round for a reason."

exactly, so many factors go into a players development. coaching, competition, maybe a player got by on natural ability in college and doesn't have the work ethic to get better in the pro's ill take a hard worker with talent over a lazy supremely talented player any day. i think burke is talented and a hard worker.

Again you realize that plenty of people like Burke as a prospect right? There are questions of whether or not he'll be there for us at 6th. Some people think he'll go as high as 2nd.

Somebody already mentioned that most of the better PG's in the league weren't the consensus top guy in their drafts. Rondo, Nash, and Curry all weren't drafted in the top5. Westbrook and Conley were considered a stretch when they were drafted top 5. Lastly Chris Paul wasn't even the 1st PG drafted and was the 4th overall pick. So if you're suggesting that because people aren't prasing Burke like Derrick Rose or John Wall he can't have success that sir is the only thing that's perposterous in this thread.

A. He wasn't even comparing the two, he was saying Curry's lack of defense is similar to Burke's supposed lack of NBA defense. That was it.

B. You're basically conjuring the comparisons to Nash/Parker etc. I can only speak for myself but I've NEVER said that and would never do it, and I've not seen one serious (informed) opinion where someone did the same.

C. You know better than to throw out the Noel schtick. Skilled big men go high regardless of the "level" of draft.
