1. It's the first time I brought Burke up at all in regards to JB, and I didnt comp them, I just said the worst case scenario is he experiences the same problems as Burke. There are plenty of other smaller guards who have the same issues transitioning to the NBA, but Burke is obviously the most known to us Jazz fans.
2. I didnt say his jumper isnt as good as advertised. I just if it isn't, he is going to run into problems. Plenty of players have had their jumpers not translate due to NBA size/speed.
3. TB was an awesome prospect. He's also longer than JB, so whatever JB has in height, Burke beats him on length. Court awareness was definitely in Burke's favor as well as he was one of the best overall PG's in college of the past decade. Let's not use hindsight to dictate the kind of prospect Burke was.
4. I'm not being contrarian at all. I had JB rated as the 14th overall prospect you dingus. I really like his game, but to act like he's a sure fire prospect who wont run into any problems is being a bit too optimistic for my taste. Some players adjust, some players don't. There have been better prospects than JB who have failed to adjust.
