I'd like that comparison with age 21 seasons. I don't give a rats crap about rookie. It's not like you stay in college knowing you learn nothing. It's the opposite.

pretty much all of them have college experience.

youngest guys are

kyrie irving - 19 (1 and done at UK)
tony parker - 19 (his 3rd season PER 36 assist is 5.7, he played 2 years of pro league in france)
rajon rondo - 20 (2 years UK)
derrick rose - 20 (1 and done at Memphis)
westbrook - 20 (2 years UCLA)
mike bibby - 20 (2 years at zona)
magic johnson - 20 (2 years at MSU)
chris paul - 20 (2 years at WAKE)


and 1 year college = / = 1 year in NBA.




bottom line, trey holds his own so far. trey will have his ups and downs, but i project him to be well above average PG in the NBA. i don't expect him to be an all star anytime soon because guys in front of him (curry, cp3, lillard, westbrook, etc) in the west, but i expect him to be a good floor general who knows how to take care of the ball and consistently deliver in the clutch situation. once he gets more pieces around him, his assist number will only go up and he will make others better. he needs to work on many areas, but what rookie doesn't? future is bright for trey.

Nice thoughts
 
and trey just turned 21. he played 2 years of college. he wasn't 1 and done like kyrie or rose, but it's not like he was a 4 year starter.

Duke.
 
You misunderstand my thought process. Age wise he's close to NCAA juniors and seniors(within 10 months of both age ranges). If you compare anything compare this year's numbers of Kyrie, 2nd year of Derrick and stuff.

just those 2.

again burke would be junior in college right now. your thought process made it sound like burke graduated from michigan.

and in no way, i'm comparing burke to those 2 phenoms. IMO healthy rose is the best PG and top 3 player in nba. and kyrie is just the mr. natural. that dude can flat out ball.

i'm only brought this up because he was compared to jameer nelson and mo williams. that's laughable.

His age though is comparable with a lot of college seniors. Just sayin. And comparing him right now with Jameer Nelson is fair. Their advanced stats are almost identical with few aberrations. Mo Williams plays a different role so I wouldn't compare these two. My fear with Burke is that he doesn't play enough transition to abuse high altitude for home court adv. Other than that I'm satisfied with what he displayed until now(both strengths and weaknesses)
 
I like Zach lavine but honestly he is redundant to burks. I guess you could start one or the other. Zach would also get the back up minutes to Burke. nice change of pace both ways.

if the jazz miss out on getting a dynamic wing in this draft would you consider offering say crymello a big offer. just think


draft embiid (wiggins and Parker gone) to high for Gordon
trade kanter in the mello deal with ny (won't be able to afford him)
match the only real offer for Hayward. 10 mil per year if he is lucky

Burke, Neto
Hayward, burks
carmello, young (jazz move up a little to take him mid teens)
favors, Williams (2 year 8 mil)
embiid, Gobert

puts the jazz mid 60s in salary

just a thought.
