If he came out in the 2004 draft

[franklin]

at 22 years old, would you have drafted Alec Burks over Dwyane Wade? Their stats at 22 are similar.

 

[fishonjazz]

I agree that thier stats are similar, but i would draft dwayne wade because i already know he turned into one of, if not the, best shooting guards in the league and won 3 championships.
With wade we have hindsight.... with burks we dont so it makes it a very easy choice.

Finally, we have some serious things to discuss around here.

 

[Zulu]

Not helping your point frank.....

Fish and I still think DWade is the better player.... He's had ten years to show what he can do...

Put alec with Shaq and Zo during Maimi first title run... Ya they'd still be good... Add Burks to Bosh and LeBron, yes I still think they win their rings!!!

But this doesn't mean I think Burks is at the same level as DWade, but he could get to maybe 85-90% of what Wade is!!!

Because you took the safest possible copout answer. Zulu wasn't afraid to say he's going to be 90% of Wade (i.e. 22ppg, 8 ASG, 5.5 ast). Have a prediction too?

You mean, like, because DWade is beating up starters and drawing double team, while Burks is beating up bench players and stuff?

Oh i thought that your question in the OP was who would i draft.
So i answered.... sorry that wasnt what you wanted

Wade doing work with broken knees.

I hope he is working hard everyday. He has a high ceiling and I believe he still is improving.

GO ON BURKS!!!!!!!

i would love it if burks had wade's post game. and is he faster? wade has always seemed unbelievably fast.

I think he might be a little faster/quicker.... tough to say though, i mean wades nickname was "flash" for a reason..... definately not as strong though and yes it would be sweet if burks had wades strength and could post up.

 

[UGLI baby]

Can't take anything seriously that any of y'all burks homers say when you compare him to Wade.

Just srs stahp pls.

Looking at you fish and zutard.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Just srs stahp pls.

Looking at you fish and zutard.

But if you take out the strong body, elite midrange game, post-up game, court vision, and elite defense they are practically the same player.

I would really like to know what i have said that is so homerish. Can you tell me something that you are referring to?

 

[Zulu]

To explain... I don't think the Heat win their first title replacing Wade with Burks!!

But I really think with burks (obviously five more years of experience Burks) the heat still win the last two rings!!
