I see he went 9-21 but how did he do in the 2nd half specifically? I know he didn't take wait until the 2nd half to start shooting.

0-4 first half, rest 2nd and OT.Originally Posted by Eman5805

I would take Withey in a New York second. That kid isn't going to be amazing, but he isn't going to kill you when you throw him in with the 2nd unit. His def is what pays the bills, and guys like Pryzbilla, Thomas, Collins, etc. have made careers just as Withey will.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
He didn't show up until the 2nd half. He put on a show and may have won himself the Player of the Year Award.
Even if the stats aren't pretty, I always like a winner. Burke is proving to be that.
hows do u not like withey? he is the next noah, a defensive juggernaught who can rebound and bang, i would love to get him
I just don't. I don't think he's going to translate well.
sounds like this guy

Not even close. Don't see anything I like in him. Not saying he'll suck, but eh.
I wouldn't say that he is Noah, but his problems early on we're that he wasn't strong. The guy got pushed around, and so Self went with stronger guys. Withey dedicated himself to getting stronger and not getting pushed around. Because of that his defense has come through. He is a throwback center. He isn't a high flyer, but his defense is what you are signing up for. In short, take him and you 2nd team def is fine.
If we draft a Center I want a low post scorer, so we can play inside out and high low with AD.
Isaiah Austin would be intriguing if we were in that range.
But fletcher said we wouldn't draft Burke. Haha. I like his skill set. If we can't get smart, porter, oladipo I want Burke.

That's the greatest factor in favor of drafting Burke.
Burke is going to be a star! Please draft him!
I hate this dude game.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Numerous times Burke made huge shots tonight, guy has the clutch gene. Reminds me of a poor mans CP3, just put his team on his back against a 1 seed
Lol
Why take him when we can sign Lopez to do exactly that on the second team?
That was McNamara. Unless Fletcher said it, too.
To me after I responded to that tweet:Michael McNamara @McNamara247 23 Mar
I see there is a lot of love for Trey Burke out there in Hornets land. Don't wanna be a Debbie Downer, but there is 0% chance Dell takes him

@MichaelHart912 I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. Wanna bet? I'll throw in Anthony Bennett too - 0% chance. Let's do this!Michael McNamara @McNamara247 28 Mar
I know people love Trey Burke, but I still think that when it is all said and done, Michael Carter-Williams goes higher in this year's draft
He's a doofus.
I think he is going to be a really good one too, but I just don't see us going that route with Rivers being here.....oh, well....

Burke had a nice game, but he really has to thank Elijah Johnson (and Bill Self) for boosting his paycheck next year. If Self had used Tharpe/McLemore/Releford at the end of the game, we would have played better defense on Burke (as we did in the first half when Johnson was on the bench and Burke went 0-4) and not made so many silly turnovers and decisions on offense.
Johnson was just too slow to defend Burke. Michigan realized that and started calling all sorts of plays to take advantage. Self didn't realize that and left Tharpe on the bench. That was the game, in a nutshell. Our poor coaching let Burke do his thing, and it was entirely preventable. We beat ourselves.

We could do a lot worse than Burke in the draft. I wouldn't mind drafting him at all, especially mid-lottery where we'll be. But his defense worries me. Is he a big enough upgrade to improve our team on that side of the ball? Keep in mind that our offense is already above average, and that's with a still-developing Davis, a 75% healthy Gordon, and Aminu (enough said). Our defense is putrid and needs help.
Fletcher retweeted I suppose. My bad
Not true. Withey will rebound and defend much better than Lopez could ever dream of.
