Following potential 2012 draftees

I watched Burke play all season at Michigan if you have any questions about him. I'm really disappointed that he is leaving early - he could have used one more year to get a little stronger and more experience and I think the team next year would have at least been top 8 potential with McGary and Glenn Robinson III coming in to play.

That being said, he is smart, has an amazing feel for the game, is aggressive, has a shot, and plays like a point guard......plus he is an extremely hard worker. I know PKM hates comparisons but I have said he will at least be as good as Eric Maynor and at very best Kevin Johnson. Guy is a stud and size is the only thing he has going against him.

Would love the Jazz to get him, but not higher than 20.

Maynor was pretty unathletic both in speed and hops, how would you compare his athleticism to Maynor's?

I was referring to impact on the game - leadership - making a difference right away - plays in control - bball IQ.

Burke is much faster and I would say much more aggressive than Maynor. Likes to attack the rim and go right at you. Doesn't really have hops.


EDIT:
This video is annoying to watch because of the pauses, but he was incredible inthis game - especially for a freshman pg.

Is Burke pass first or shoot first?

I really think he is pretty balanced - or would be in the NBA. But if I were to label him I would say he is on the side of shoot first. He was on a Michigan team that needed someone to take the big shots and take control of the game. There were times in the BIG10 and NCAA tournament that he really needed to pass but felt like he needed to make the shot and get his team back in it. Took some bad ones that's for sure. But I chalk that up to inexperience and really wanting to win. During the season he had better shot selection and game management.

He really plays like a point guard though, knows the pick and roll, and is fun to watch.
 
From what I have seen, Burke is a pretty balanced PG. Like a CP3 or Dwill, but he is just physically limited with his size. He is probably a tad bit shorter than CP3. He has the ability to be a top 10 PG though.
 
Also, just saw a report that his dad said Burke hasn't committed to the draft yet. May be a false report from Chad Ford.
