If he came out in the 2004 draft

[fishonjazz]

I just think when people use player comps they are saying the two players are alike, not just one or two parts of their game.

Thats a YOU problem not a ME problem. You have been putting words into my mouth for a while now because you think that i think that burks = wade. That is untrue just so you know. Ok?

Honest Question Uggs...

You were high on drafting Burks....

Do you feel more or less optimistic in what Alec can become now compared to draft night? And why?

I remember when hayward looked to have such a great skill set and so much promise at the end of his rookie year that people were calling him a poor mans larry bird.

Kanter received comps to nowitzki.

At least burks does try to play like and emulate wade. hell i heard kyle gunther saying burks reminds him of wade (A FORMER UTE!)
I heard that dude that looks like a robot that does jazz related media that used to play for the utes say burks looks like harden.

Its not that big a deal.
i would understand people freaking out if I was saying burks is better than wade or i would rather have burks than wade, but im not so its ok buddy

Burks =/= Wade, but seriously lol at people trying so hard to hate on our best player. And argue with the guys who are high on him.

Same with Cy, Frank and Dal!!!

It's like we can't be excited for one of our Core 5 because he is showing huge improvement....

Maybe it's because they all writ him off and can't except that he has over come some ****ty play to be a good player !!!

We could compare burks to monta ellis as well if that makes you feel better but i always enjoy comparing young talented players to the best.

Like we could compare hayward to like a rick fox or something but thats not very fun..... i would rather compare him to paul george or jeff hornacek or something

Your homerism isn't limited to bad player comps. Own up, fish. Own it!


Speaking of comps, do you know what J-Slo's record was his first three seasons compared to Corbin's?

I would say either the same, or slightly more optimistic. I think the jury is still totally out on him. Could see him as someone who is at least in All star talks, or someone who has a rich mans Jordan Crawford type career.

I think it just makes me not like him when I see people going homer x 1,000 on Burks. The "Burks could be Wade" stuff is probly the most ridiculous thing I've seen on jazzfanz.

No, I've never put words in anyone's mouth, from what I remember. I praise Alec a lot, and I ask for the ball to be in his hands to end games instead of Gordon. Fish just acts like if I don't have Alec in my mouth at all times then I'm hating on him. Or if I point out something he did wrong, then I'm hating on him.

False.

 

[fishonjazz]

Trey got compared to cp3 by players on this board

I have heard giannis compared to kevin durant

embiid compared to olijuwan

jabari compared to lebron

wiggins compared to jordan

No one thinks any of those players are equal to the player they were compared to..... Its really not a big deal.

It honestly sounds like your in the same boat as Fish and I....

Challenge you to find a post where we say Burks will be the next Wade!!!
