Seeing that you're connected to seeing TB will bust, you're already negative about the pick in the first place, though.
I don't believe he will bust :)
I think he will be solid but not spectacular.
"Bust" was a tongue-in-cheek about Corbin's push for him.
 
I got this impression from his interview to Battier right after announcement.

He didn't know he was traded until the interview. I chalk up his reaction as being surprised and confused. The dude had spent several minutes working on his "Minnisota" speech and couldn't switch gears fast enough to sound enthused for Utah; seriously, I don't expect that kind of wit out of young BB player.

Honestly, I don't want to read much into it but you can't work on your Minnesota speech as any moderately educated person can't expect he will stay in Minnesota and likely will be traded. This along with his "Looking forward to play in Utah with Kyle Korver" slip then corrected in twitter by "I meant Gordon Heyward" means he's got no clue what's going on at all.
He definitely will have chip on his shoulder after slipping that much but he doesn't come across like too bright.
 
I am very ecxited about this draft. Looking back at history, the first point picked in each draft is good, the national player of the year is very good. (Jimmer excluded but he is out of position so not a good match) My one concern is his height. I came across this link showing that the average size of an NBA point is 6'1 so Trey at 6'0" is no big deal to me. I really liked his line saying height does not matter as much as reach and Trey is above average here. Once again we had out choice of PG and the argument between DWill and CP3 are mostly pointless I would be happy to have the same argument and outcome between Trey and MCW or CJM.
