any chance this guy falls to 12? i just watched locke's video on this guy and i think he can be a pretty special guy inthe nba. i really do believe this guy is going to be a brandon roy type of player.
 
I saw him play one time last year and he reminded me of Brandon Roy with good knees. I would love if he fell to 12, but I don't think he will.
 
Getting Burks means Hayward playing the 3 in the future. I like Burks a lot as well. Premier scorer at CO. With the limited of #2's I think he goes a little bit before 12. But still a possibility of falling.
 
Is he too big a stretch at 3? Are Brandon Knight and Enes Kanter >>>>>>> Alec Burks? I wouldn't be surprised if KOC shocked us with the #3 pick. Not saying it's Burks. I just think there are more options than Kanter and Knight, which seem to be the only 2 talked about here for #3.
 
Burks would be a stretch at 3 because I don't think anyone before 8 is seriously considering him.

Cleveland seems set on Irving + Euro Big Man

Minnesota could actually use him, but I think they are thinking - Trade, Get Dwill, Get one of Euro Bigs

Jazz - Who knows, reports have them thinking about anything and everything

Toronto - They have Derozan, I think they are looking to add either Knight or Walker. I think they want Knight because they need shooting.

Kings - They have Evans, so Burks would be a terrible fit

Wizards - Possibly, but I think they are thinking Kanter/Leonard/Vesely. They have Jordan Crawford and John Wall as a primary ball handler.

Detroit - I think they would be the first team to take him. They really need help at every position.

Bobcats - Same as Detroit

Bucks - They really need a SG, so I think they take Burks for sure if he is there

Warriors - Doubt they would take Burks, I see them going more towards Klay Thompson.
 
I've been intrigued by Burks for a while now, but he hasn't cracked my top tier. He's just too shaky on defense and as a spot-up shooter for me to get excited. I would list him as a "high risk, high reward" player; it'd be hard to pass him up at 12.
 
Pistons, Bobcats, and Bucks could easily take other players though, so it is possible he drops.
 
Givony pretty much acted like Locke was out of his mind when he asked him any chance Burks falls to 12.
