Following potential 2013 draftees

[Hotttnickkk]

Burke
6/11 - 18 points
8 assists - 1 TO
4 rebounds

20 point win vs Northwestern

Again, he is perfect for our offense as a facilitator.

I'd be very happy if we can get Burke with our #18 pick.

Yes, obviously.

I keep hearing he's pegged around 12.

Otto Porter

20 points, 4 assist, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 three pointers made.

Our SF of the future.

I'm with ya Cy.

Haven't seen him that high anywhere. Where have you seen this?

[George]

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.

Scouts I talk to.

[NAOS]

Scouts I talk to.

Also, a couple of weeks ago NAOS said he would go 11 or 12 if the draft was now.

True. Double confirmation, yo!

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.

I'm confident at least one PG would be within our reach this year. It's the level of talent I'm worried about and it made me wonder whether that player will ever be more than just an average NBA player.

Look at Maynor for example.

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