Burke

[Snarly]

Of the top 8 prospects mentioned who do ppl believe will be a starter from day one in the NBA
and more importantly start for the Pels?

I want a player who will contribute straight away not another project like Rivers.

I have a feeling the staff feels the same way. I think they want to put all their focus and energy into developing Rivers/Davis this off season. I think guys like Porter, Oladipo, Zeller, Burke, and MCW are pretty high on their list for this very reason.

Burke is NCAA player of the year.

Two straight years of getting the Player of the Year, I hope?

I'm with you. Runner up to ROY and ROY the next year would be pretty impressive.

Question for those who watch lots of college hoops. How does Trey Burke compare athletically to Stephen Curry? I know Curry is taller and can shoot the hell out of three pointers but is this a good comparison? Is Steph Curry superior athletically to Trey Burke?

If they get him to start, then I guess Rivers will backup Gordon and Burke.

I'm not sure about MCW. But the other guys I do agree with. The #1 guy on that list has to be Oladipo though, imo.

Oladipo puts us ina bit of a pickle. He actually reminds me of Deng a bit but smaller. Fair or am i just comparing them bc they have African like last names ?

I'm not sold on Burke. I feel like we will go after a more defensive minded pg

No I definitely see that, in a good way.

The notion that Burke is sup par on the defensive side is off base. Plus the dude played 40 minutes and had to push WAY harder than he should have been on the offensive side.

So every draft "expert " is wrong?

Who annointed them "experts"?

Every one doesn't say that, either.

And they also don't ever mention the point I just brought up that you glossed over

[Shelbywmccarty]

Ok I didn't say he was bad defensively. I just don't love him like the rest of the board. I pray for a top 3 and smart as the pick or dipo or Noel or porter

[Shelbywmccarty]

If we are at 6 or 7 I would be ok taking a chance on him.

Just me. Not influenced by fletch or McNamara. Just not in love

[FLYINGPELICANS]

I hope we draft him and hope that Amniu develops

Burke struggling bad so far in the cuse game

McGary looking amazing.

Go Blue snitches!

He looks good on...defense to me. Yes, defense.

[bojangles837]

How is he so good at 30 foot 3s?

[kclaboy504]

Burke just spot up n hit another 3 from exact same spot as the Kansas game. Like I had said he has range n he did indeed take a good shot that night. Him doing not under pressure or clock running out in this game just proved that.

[kclaboy504]

I can't believ the ref blew the whistle so quick on the last possession for Wichita st for a jump ball. Totally took the game right out of their hands. Bs

[wuggie]

How's everyone's bracket doing still? To be my first really time watching college basketball and doing one, mine is pretty good. It's a 100 pct, which I have no clue how its that way or what it means lol. Top 800 on ESPN

[UNO Gracias]

Way to go Wuggie. You will remember this day always. I still remember finishing in the top 500 going into the final 4 in 06'. You will tell that story to your grand kids.

Go Blue!
