Lol. I was talking about Gobert and it was me having fun around guys on this board pulling "Karl Malone will teach him toughness, Hornacek will fix his shot" lines here, there and everywhere.
FFS, I said Burke is the best PG in the draft and will be sure top-10 back in winter when he was projected in early twenties and was spot on. But my guts tell me McCollum will be better.
Can I prove my point? No :)
Do I want to be wrong and Burke ended up being Deron caliber of player? Hell yeah.
Will I cheer for him? For sure.

All butthurt neg reppers can go **** themselves in a closet.

Last year and during this college season Burke is who I was hoping the Jazz would be able to get but once the workouts started I also was hoping for CJ McCollum. However some of that could also be because I thought there was no way they'd be able to get Burke as getting McCollum was seeming like a long shot as well.

I posted on page 2 or 3 of this thread of all the players that have won the National Player of the year award and the majority had success in the NBA, the success varied of course and in a draft with very little to no super star power if the Jazz got a starting PG then that should be a success and anything past that is gravy IMO.

Guess with how busy last night was I guess I missed that you were joking about Gobert.
 
I never really bothered reading up on Burke because I thought there would be a zero percent chance of getting him.

All we have to do know is sign Chris Paul to mentor him. Our FO can do it!
 
Did anyone else hear Corbin giggling through his interview with Locke & Lindsey? He was either REALLY excited, or had been drinking something to help him relax. I thought it was odd.

Didn't you hear...

Ty and Stern had a moment together at the bar before the draft.
 
I remembered this from a while back:

Jamaal Tinsley ‏@jatinsley 31 Mar
Watching point guard play of trey Burke impressed with his engine and court vision. He's going places

Tinsley can't shoot, but he's a helluva passer and knows the game. Burke doesn't need help shooting. For a reclamation project with character concerns, Tinsley has been the BIGGEST surprise for me as a Jazz player. It's too bad he doesn't have much gas in the tank,. Then again, if he had, he wouldn't have signed with the Jazz. For a player who is an UFA, I think it was a very classy move on Tinsley's part to tweet Burke and congratulate him on becoming a Jazz player. I used to think Watson would be a future PG mentor/coach for Utah. Maybe we found that in Tinsley. I definitely want him back as the 3rd PG.
 
Ya, weird to think Tinsley used to be one of the guys in the league with the biggest character concerns.

It's a big deal that we traded up to get Burke. It shows a commitment to a player that isn't necessarily there if you simply take some highly rated player that falls to you. A lot of people's futures are now tied to Burke, even Corbin's, who clearly played some role in the decision. It's really the best thing to happen for this kid's career. He'll have support and opportunities that many of the strictly BPA picks won't.

He's not just an asset. The organization seems genuinely excited to have snagged him.
