Goodbye Burke

Wiggins isn't in LeBron's ball park as far as basketball skill and IQ at 18, but just on pure athleticism I think Wiggins may be the most explosive basketball player I've ever seen. His lateral quickness and 2nd leap is completely off the chart. Where LeBron was superior physically was his NBA body.

That

Fabtrey, you are simply wrong about wiggins not being an elite athelete
 
i'm done arguing with whoever thinks wiggins is more explosive than young bron.

again bron was doing that at 245lb. that's a huge, i mean huge difference.

if any 1 expert come out and say wiggins is more explosive than bron ever was then i'll eat crow.

Bron didn't weigh 245 in high school

The only PG's I would take over Burke are:

Irving, Paul, Westbrook, Lillard. That's it. Four. Toss in the fact that those four players will be or are max players, and I don't know if I want to pay my PG max money. If I can have Burke for 10 per, Hayward at 12 per, Favors at 12 per, Parker at max, I'd take that over one of those four, and losing Favors or Hayward.

The real kicker in all of this is that the Jazz HAVE to get a superstar this draft.

Why is everyone so sure that Burke will never be a max player? You think he's an elite point guard but for some reason he will never be paid like one? Makes no sense to me.

What scares me the most is that I have never seen a player that looked more disappointed to be here than Trey. He just looked straight up unhappy. Maybe I'm wrong but I really don't think I am. I think he will be a pain to extend.

Agreed!

I'm betting Lebron would have maybe 5 more pounds on Wiggins if they were the same age, at the same point in there careers.
Coming out of high school, they look like perfect twins in athleticism, and skill.

Bron maybe has the edge in court vision and basketball IQ. There's only one Lebron and only one MJ anyway.

Can you really think of many top tier players that would look ecstatic to be drafted here? Maybe if the Jazz were able to get a hold of Durant.......

Even D-Will never seemed like he wanted to be here, that is until he got traded and realized how great the offensive system was for him.

That ended well.

Trey should have been excited to land on a team that had committed to a rookie pg.

Also I am tired of hearing this argument. Utah is a small market not the small market.

So, in three years, Tre is up for an extension. He is a RFA. He has an offer from another team, let's say Detroit offers him 12 per, and he is only worth 10 per.

Utah has Favors, Hayward, Jabari, Gobert and others, and is coming off a 50-60 win season and a WCF loss. Detroit is coming off a 44 win season. Do you think he will be sad if Utah matches?

No, no he won't. Build a winner. No one cares about the city they play in if they are winning.
