Has Trey Burke been mentioned yet??? I'm a pretty big fan.

So I lose track of this thread for a couple days and suddenly there are insider talks going on and I'm not in the loop?
My status around here has dropped dramatically. I guess that means I should start contributing more.
(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
If the draft were right now, the highest Burke would go would be 12, where the Mavericks are currently picking. They have a need at pretty much ever position though, so I don't know if they would take him.
Then he would pass by T'Wolves, Celtics, and Blazers, who all pick next and have young starting PG's. Then the Hawks pick, who would be a slight threat. They do have Teague though, and if the commit to him in the off-season, they probably pass on Burke.
Then we pick and grab him.

If he keeps playing like this, he could easily be a top ten pick. On the other hand, there are about 4 good PG's. All of which look to be taken around 10. With not many teams needing a PG, one of those 4 will possibly drop, but hard to know which one. I have a hard time believing that Burke will be the one that drops though.

I've been saying this for some time now. How high their stock is won't matter quite as much as who actually needs a PG to build around. Orlando and Dallas are really the only lottery teams that fall under that category, and Orlando will probably be picking higher than where any PG is expected to go.

Does anybody know of any good international prospects? Especially PG's?
