Following potential 2014 draftees

Even if he scoots by one he is not fast enough to get by the rim protection or help defenders.

Well you are the one who asked if Vonleh would make Burke quicker. Clearly with floor spacing bigs the rim protectors and help defenders have to say put on shooters.

Again nobody is saying Burke is top 25 in quicks, but he certainly on many possessions against multiple quality defenders prove he has the quickness and ball handling to beat defenders. Quickness is just one aspect of getting by defenders. Some guys just have great handles like Irving, some or crafty like Andre Miller and some are both like Steve Nash. Burke's has enough of quicks, handle, and craftiness to get where he needs to consistently. And all those attributes are likely to get better as he trends towards his prime.

The ball needs to be in his hands much more often in the half court with the objective for him attacking not just dribbling at the top of the 3pt line waiting to pass the ball to Hayward.
 
I do not have the link, but Hoopshype has Orlando bringing in Smart for a second look. If it is not a smoke screen that could be big for us.

The Jazz should be on the phone trying to trade up. Something that won't hurt but Orlando will bite on, say #5 and #35 for #4. Then if Exum leapfrogs a top three, We are sitting pretty.
