Haha, no. Been partying a lot, but haven't been on a date in a few months.

Though......I did get a little involved with someone during spring break and have been thinking about doing another "Dear Jazzfanz" post in the UGLI forum.

Guys serious question, Smart VS Burke. If we somehow get the choice.

I'm not sold on Smart, people think he could be the next Westbrook, but he doesn't have that face up dribble drive move. He can barely dunk it as far as I can tell. All I see him do is back down on smaller PGs close to the hoop and lay it up. We already have Favors/Kanter there, so that's a no go.

I hate it when people compare him to Westbrook. It's such a lazy *** comparison.

Been partying a lot?

No d bag, but of you don't drink,
But you party a lot, what does that entail? Just putting your hands in the air and waving them like you just don't care?

This.

No drinking partying must involve cake, candles, balloons, and gifts... right?

I would like a PG that plays intelligently and with poise. Sure, Smart could improve as much or more than Burke did in the last year, but if you are drafting Smart above Burke, you are doing it to get the player you think Smart might become moreso than most players. PGs are commonly the first line of defense against transition as well, so I've always been wary of PGs who live around the basket.

But the more I think about Smart's upside, the more interested I am. But I would sure like to see more efficiency and less bullying of smaller players. He won't get as much of that advantage in the NBA.

I think the Westbrook comparison is very poor. Besides that I kind of hate him. Does anyone think that if he was the #1 (the actual #1, not just what's been going on in only his head for the last few years) on a team that they'd be good? I have a lot of doubts.

I love 'Bazz and Noel and maybe McLemore and Smart kind of.

Noel is going to be very good defensively and hustle. Very limited on offense.
'Bazz has the most upside in the draft.

There are some nice players.. I just can't get excited about a single one.

This has been my pet word for this year.. which is why I want Burke. I just think Burke will be a very solid backup.. which is fine at the end of the lottery in a weak draft.

You don't even see an effective starter?

FWIW you were hard for Josh Selby and Austin Rivers. We're all wrong about things. I think Burke will be a nice player.
