You take Deron 10 times out of 10. Deron had All-Star potential. Burke does not. Simply put Burke doesn't have the tools to get to the free throw line consistently. Now you might trade Deron in a few years but he always was a better talent.

I'd take a scorching case of anal crabs over DuhRon Williams, 10,000 times out of 10,000.

You sure you need another?

If I'm a GM and I didn't know that that blubbering vagina would essentially make the greatest coach of all-time say, "**** it, I'm out." then I agree. DuhRon > Trey

We'll probably never be able to flip Burke for a Favors, a Kanter, and half a Trey Burke. As far as keeping them though, a very good sub max point is better than a mercurial max point for optimal team construction. Better to get the second and flip him for the first and assets (which we did.)

Huh?

Wish it wasn't so, but DWill by far..hate him all you want but he was a rare talent for a couple years there

Huh?

Optimally if you are in position to draft a max point and he is BPA, draft him. But you are better off to find a way to flip him for a very good to great point guard + other assets rather than keeping him and maxing him. Slotting a point guard as one of your max salaries is a fatal flaw that will eventually limit your team. It just so happens that the Jazz did exactly that, even if indirectly.

DWill by a good margin. During his rookie year, Deron showed promise way beyond his stats. And his physical profile gives him a serious advantage over Trey.

Other than his glass ankles.

He had glass ankles during his rookie year?

Why have so many fools failed to read the question in the OP? Lots of fails in this thread.

So you are saying that the potential for injury didn't exist then? It most certainly did. If he had more minutes that year would it have reared its ugly head? I think he was lucky he didn't suffer a major injury that year. Maybe his low minutes were a blessing that allowed him to play a few more years before a major injury derailed his career. Either way, taking into account the player that he actually did become is valid as to whether or not you would want him at his rookie year performance again over someone we have now. If it is simply in a vacuum then the right question would be who had a better rookie year, D Will or Trey. Then it is a simple stats comparison. But if you are asking would I rather have D Will in his rookies year or Trey in his, well along with that comes the presumption that we then would have each for a few years. We already know what we had with D Will and where he ended up. If we are engaging in conjecture, well in this case I would take the devil we don't know and go with Burke, knowing full well that D Will in the end will be reduced to a shadow of his former self by nagging injuries.
