Thanks CousinsFan 11. It is good to know that he likes Oysters apparently. Does not really make it clear if he has a buyout now or until after 2013. 12 probably to high for him, but if we take one of the points with the first pick could be worth looking at. Probably best shooting big man in draft if he stays.

Burks is selfish, and doesn't play defense. I can't imagine him playing for the Jazz. So of course KOC will get him with the 8th pick. Sigh.
This offseason would be a lot less boring if the jazz still had thier 2nd round pick. I could day dream about them picking Shelvin Mack or debate Ben Hansborough vs Darrius Morris.

Everything i have read about Burks is he is a more than capable defender. Not sure where you found out he is a horrible defender. Looked good to me.
And he is good coming off screens. He does dominate the ball but his team sucks so I don't blame him. But who knows. Brandon Roy dominated the ball also. So did Durant. You can't knock guys for dominating the ball in college. he averaged 4 assists per game. I know that doesn't tell the whole story but he can be a playmaker

He is not like Derozan. He is more of a crafty player. Derozan relies more athleticism.

Burks is a good all around player his mid range shot is really good but his 3 point shot needs to improve.
Here are Biyombo's ACB stats:
https://www.draftexpress.com/stats....ign[3]=>&val[3]=&field[4]=0&sign[4]=>&val[4]=
he ranks about 20th there. his numbers make him look legit.
there are several other notable players just above him on that list: Carroll (USU), Mirotic (another draft prospect), and our own Ante Tomic.

Also keep in mind what makes this more impressive is that it is a pro league and most of the guys are in their 20s and 30s. As posted earlier Mirotic had his contract extended but still may have an affordable buyout. Article was not really clear on that. Mirotic can shoot the rock.
Kind of worries me a little for the nba. He is not a great shooter nor is he a great athlete. Hmm.....
I wonder if Portland is finally going to bring over Freeland if there is a season. Putting up pretty good numbers.

I didn't say he isn't athletic. He is athletic. He is crafty though. Derozan only relies on his athleticism. Burks is smart. while having athleticism.
And yes his 3 point shot needs work but he can hit the mid range shot very well. so its not like he is Ronnie Brewer. Brandon Roy had similar problems coming out of college. Hayward had those same things (Bad shooter his 2nd year and not athletic).
Mid range shot is more important than the 3 point shot.

Don't act like Roy had a bad outside shot coming out of college....he shot 40% from 3 his senior year on roughly the same amount of attempts that Burks had this year, Burks just shot 29%. Obviously Burks can develop his outside shot, but what worries me is that he gets the majority of his points off of the dribble. Unless if our offense is going to change, Burks will struggle hear for the main reason that he won't be able to dominate the ball like he does in college. If the Jazz think that he can develop his ability to make a set shot, then go for it, but it's a risky move when you will most likely already have a proven shooter like Jordan Hamilton on the board.

I honestly didn't see him play much. But after reading about him and looking at his stats. He seems like a better player than Burks. I will have to agree with you. Hamilton looks like a much better player. How is his defense?
