What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I say we sacrifice orange to the draft gods.

Do what you feel is best. I think Burke is the best PG out of this draft today but 3 years from now he won't be considered the best from this draft.

It's well documented that you don't need a stud PG to win Chips. We actually don't want him to be a stud PG - we'd rather he be "just decent", so we can spend $$$ on the likes of Kanter & Jabari.
 
The only guy I worry about being a better floor leader than Burke is actually Nate Wolters. I think he's got Steve Nash sleeper potential. I think Schroeder will be good too, but won't be the shooter and versatile PG that Burke is.

Burke is the best pure PG in the last three drafts, and yes, I'm aware of Lillard. Burke is going to make people around him better, and some of the plays he makes in the half court will remind people of Chris Paul and Allen Iverson. (...not the most athletic stuff Iverson did though).

Burke is very focused, efficient and knows what he's doing.

Agreed with this.

In that 2nd SL game, guys just couldn't make shots. He set them up pretty well, they're just not NBA caliber talent...

Once he's playing with the likes of Kanter, Jabari, Hayward, all of whom can make shots, I think he'll really thrive.
 
I might be okay with Exum, but when I'm shopping for a superstar I'd probably buy American (or Canadian, I guess), since a large part is about having the will to dominate. Lets face it, a lot of foreigners are just friendly people.
Call me ONE supreme overseas player who is NOT clutch? Plus Exum is kid of 2 Americans who emigrated to Australia after his birth. Get your facts str8
