Could We Use Trey Burke

An additional year of college, and all the year-round development that top prospects get these days, helps a player develop.

So Donovan has an unfair advantage over the one-and-done rookies.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I don’t think it’s even close to a comparison.

A year of pro development for an NBA team is more valuable than a year of college development.

Or to put another way, I think that the development Tony Bradley got this year by having a full season of access to the Jazz/Stars coaching staff, practicing against professional players every day and having round the clock access to a professional strength and training staff was far more valuable to him than going back to UNC. Plus, the Jazz were able to teach him their system and control what role and minutes he was able to play. Something that no college team can replicate.

The argument that going back to school gives anyone an advantage over being in the NBA for a redshirt season is extremely flawed (and rather silly) IMO.
 
He had put up a 21.8 PER for the season BEFORE tonight's game. His numbers had mostly just trended down, even after leaving Utah... until this season.
 
DM is a better defender than Burke,
but Burke is shooting 53% this season and 38% from 3. He is A much more efficient scorer than Mitchell.

True, plus he is helping his team win and carrying the offensive load like Mitchell right?

How much better is Burke's shooting than Simmons? Since Simmons can't shoot I guess it's infinitely better? 76ers should probably send a pick and Simmons for Burke if they want to go anywhere.

Although they already drafted Simmons replacement and upgrade in fultz. But Burke would be insurance if he doesn't pan out .

Jealousy isn't a great look for you by the way. But it's okay, Mitchell makes even reasonable people jealous when he isn't on your team or from your country.

If it makes you feel better you can try trading for him on NBA 2k. I mean, you live in a fantasy world already.
