Burke, Neto or Wright?

How about Jerian Grant?

Yeah, I don't want to "upgrade" Burke with a rookie. If we can't get a solid vet, I'll stick with the Devil I know. There is no guarantee that any of those guys will be better than Burke.

I'd take Delon hands down. But I don't see how we get him, unless he leads Utah to the elite eight driving up his value to get himself in the 10-range. Not sure that will happen. Delon will make the perfect backup PG.

Not hard to be an upgrade from burke tho.

Huh? Just snag him in the 2nd.

This.

Back up our 19 year old, very little experience, rookie, with a rookie (im aware he's a senior) with zero NBA experience? Exec of the year, bro.

There will be about a dozen NBA vet PG's looking for a job next year - most of them can be had for a 1 or 2 year deal.

I'd take either of the other's before Burke. I've seen Burke in this system and he doesn't fit.

Rookie point guards generally don't help you win. If we replace trey we do it with a player with more experience.

Stitches mentioned Kris Dunn from Providence, I think he's pretty intriguing.

Pretty sure most NBA players are going to prefer 1 or 2 year deals so they can be a FA when the cap expands.
