Love getting Burke. I don't care that he doesn't have all the crazy athleticism and measurables. He is very skilled. Guys gotta remember that the 2nd greatest Jazzman was not very gifted as far as height and athleticism. Obviously I won't compare him to Stock, but athleticism is not everything. Skill and b-ball IQ plays a role just as significant.

Plus, he can post up Schroeder any day.

Burke is a winner, plain and simple.

Has to be a trade. Maybe us... Hope not.

You are amazing. That is all.

 

[orangello]

You have no idea how ****ing pissed I am

Again, absolutely amazing.

 

[orangello]

I hate the Burke trade. Terrible.

Just for future reference. I will take the heat if I am wrong.

I wish we moved up for McCollum instead, but anyone who thinks moving the 14 and 21 for Burke isnt good value is a certified Moron.

How many picks in the 20's ever pan out??

Your half right. Gobert might be the 20s pick that pans out.

dont like it at all

i like burke but i dont see him being a star or even all star player in the NBA. good college player. wouldve rather they stay put and take schroeder at 14 and get someone else at 21 too.

having a great pg didnt get the jazz a championship before

bad trade

Can we get this guy posting again?

 

[orangello]

I hope we can somehow get another late pick, there's a ton of good rotation players to be had.
Wolters, Gobert, etc.

Nice.

 

[orangello]

hawks just won the draft

Awesome guy. I don't know that they won but they certainly drafted well beyond their range.

 

[orangello]

Mark my words, in three years Burke will be considered at best the 3rd best PG in this draft. Both McCollum and Schroeder will be better.

Reference once again.

 

[orangello]

Because in his first two years, Burke will only get around 22-25 minutes a game.

Wrong.

 

[orangello]

And when can we start making fun of you for this prediction?

I don't want to wait that long.

Start now. I can handle it.
