Thread: Trey Burke

  1. #26
    Look how good of a play. He doesn't even touch Siva. That foul cost the game.

    Depends on where we pick. You guys think he's a top 5 guy?

    I think he's the 2nd best player in the draft, so yes.

    I think that floor had springs in it. Siva and Burke were high flying.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    I said this before people question Burke athleticism because he's smart and plays under control. He doesn't have to waste energy. That's the maturity you want from your leader who is an extension of the head coach. Burke never use to dunk in games until he was encouraged by his teammates who seen him do it at practice.

    I'm afraid that he may measure really well(unlike some people have projected) at the combine and we could be in danger of not being in a position to draft Burke.

    If you ever watched Siva you know he's a high flying dunker. I think Burke is the one that surprised people.

    I agree.

    I think it's safe to say Burke at most is #5. GMs will be all over

    McLemore
    Noel
    Porter
    Smart

    With the magic most likely #1 or #2, I don't think they take burke. The next 4 teams or so already have their PG:

    Wizards: Wall
    Bobcats: Walker
    Cavs: Irving
    Suns: If they believe in Dragic.

    So:

    Magic: Smart
    Bobcats: Noel
    Suns: Mclemore (replace the hole left by Gordon)
    Cavs: Porter

    Detroit could be one that screws us.

    If the Suns took Burke, this board would explode with Gordon trade talk

    Take Oladipo, Gordon to PHX for Dragic +, profit.
    Wherehappens.

    Who do you have as #1?

    McLemore.

    Pure fit, Burke is #1 for Pelicans, but Overall I have McLemore slightly above Burke(and it's even closer after last night).

    That's the thing about lotteries nothing is solid until after.

    I just have to say this is an excellent point though. Most of the bad teams are married to their respective PG's of the future. Meaning Burke dispute a great showing could fall. Even if he shows out like a top 3 pick in the combine.

    I like the fact that there's some intrigue in this years draft. It makes for much more exiting viewing and debate.

    It's odd. Burke is #2 on my board by production, and McLemore is really there on pure "potential." He hasn't wowed me, but granted I haven't watched many of his games. I've probably watched 10 Burke games, and I usually only watch the Final Four in college bball.

    Ford has us taking him in his first mock draft

    According to Ford's lottery machine, Burke is ours at 6, 7, and 8.

    If we're 1 or 2, he has us taking Smart. If we're 2 and Smart is taken, we take Porter. I haven't gotten 3 yet, but I assume we'd pick Porter.

    So that pretty much means Ford has our best fits as

    1. Smart
    2. Porter
    3. Burke

    Absolute travesty that this was called a foul. Travesty.

    The kid has a little CP3 in him. I can see him develop as top 5 pg in the nba.

    The game changer too. If play continues UM has all momentum and we could have had a different game.

    The goaltending calls also changed things, but Burke would be a steal.

    Burke seems to very one sided. He puts so much into his offense, he reminds me of Curry which I don't know is good or not because curry is an elite shooter while he isn't. He also has the tools to be a fantastic combo guard who happens to be great at passing.

    That's absolute horse****. Ask Wolters and MCW how his defense was. He had a very solid tournament defensively.

    If last night didn't convince you, that burke can at least be pesky on D, I don't know what to say to you. It was quite obvious last night.

    Burke has Jimmer range, with the defense of .....


    Tim Hardaway. Burke is Hardaway more than he is CP3...so yes please. Give me Burke.
