What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

I wish the jazz would have taken Kawhi Leonard back in 2011.

Per 36

Leonard:

13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists 36% from 3

Burks:

14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists 36% from 3


And that's with Burks being benched till Christmas, followed by playing out of position. It's been a total cluster **** of a season for Burks, where as Leonard gets to play for one of the greatest coaches in history.

Also, as rookies, Burks as a rookie averaged 16 points per 36, Leonard averaged less than 12. I'm not saying Burks is a lock to be the better player, but I do think Leonard is overrated, and Burks would be getting a lot more attention if he was in the same situation as Leonard or Klay Thompson.

I would still take Burks.

Nice post. San Antonio has a way of taking average or slightly above-average players and making them really effective in their system. I bet San Antonio could make Demarre Carroll look pretty good too.
 
Did the nba lottery mock draft game again today and they have Dario Saric going 13 to Mavericks every time I play it.
