Following potential 2015 draftees

Yeah, it's not even a discussion to me. I think Okafor would be a #2 in most drafts. Just don't think he is that great.
 
A benefit from trading Burks to move up and grab Mario is that we reset the clock on retaining the rights to an asset, and he's cheaper.

That's besides the idea that Mario could be a lot better than Burks.


I honestly don't know what to think about Burks. I use to be a huge fan, and was always defending him. But over time he hasn't really grown and improved. He's pretty much the same player. He's great at layups and that's about it. His shooting is eratic, and his defense is terrible. He seems like a guy who could be an all star. But maybe he just doesn't fulfill that potential. He has real concerning holes in his game. He still struggles with free throws for crying out loud.

Just see a more modern TD in KAT.

He's been growing on me for a while. I am not sure if he's going to be as good for as long as TD has been, but he's extremely skilled, I was watching him handle the ball in a workout and I was like ... damn... his handle is like a guard's.

Would you trade Favors + 12 + picks for No.1?

He shot 82% from the line on 4.8 FTA per game this year (27 games). Good sign.
