Burks at #12

Wow you must know a lot of BYU fans. I could make a general statement about Ute fans, but it would be just as dumb as your statement. Grow up.

Here, let me.... They are classless! The whole school, the organization, the fans all classless!!! They drink beer.... The hospital and cancer research is classless!!!
 
Watching the DX pre draft video gives me a lot of hope for this kid coming off screens. Really good form on his mid range shot. I think the biggest problem with the 3 is that he is still working on his strength and doesn't feel like he can get it there shooting the way he does from midrange. That is a pretty easy fix. I see him being a pretty good shooter from outside after a few years. He has the tools to be a great player

I know kanter was 2 on the Jazz board. I assume that was behind Irving? But what I really wonder is where Burks was on their board and if that was ahead of Jimmer. I would have paid money to see Burks drafted by Jazz with Jimmer still on the board.
 
Burks is one of the most versatile players in the draft. His best position in the NBA could be PG when its all said and done. He was more or less the PG at Colorado, the ball was in his hands most of the time.
That would be crazy...having Burks at the 1 and Hayward at SG. We'd have the biggest guard tandem in the league. Add Favors and Kanter and all Utah would need is a 6'10" SF to complete the lineup.
 
the more vids i watch, the more he grows on me. he really does have good enough handles to play at least 10-15 at pg

Really b/c I didn't see any Ute fans that were Jazz fans that stopped being Jazz fans when they didn't get Bogut

We will never know. My gut tells me Jimmer was ahead of him though.
 
Yep, we may see more of him at PG than we imagined... The more skills they have, the more flexability the coach has in assembling "the best 5" on the floor together. Love his attitude; this is from today's Trib: "Burks is a guy with a healthy amount of confidence in his game, and a healthy chip on his shoulder, the product of spending most of his basketball life being overlooked. As the second lottery pick of the Utah Jazz in Thursday night’s NBA Draft, Burks promises to bring that same hunger to EnergySolutions Arena.

And if he does, expect him to break into Utah’s rotation, sooner rather than later.

“I like that Coach [Tyrone] Corbin says it will be a wide-open competition for minutes,” Burks said. “That’s the way I like it. It’s what I’ve been used to my entire career. I have to earn the right to eat.”
