You thought he was bigger because he plays big. Burke was 6'1" and played like he was 5'10"
Yeah, Burke's measurements are always surprising. He had a big wingspan for his height too. Just played the worst defense imaginable.

I'm not understanding the Trey Burke comparisons at all. They play nothing alike. NWG uses his body and post ups. I never saw Burke attempt to post anyone up.
I'd say he's more like Andre Miller, Mark Jackson, or even Eric Snow. The poor man's Deron Williams comparisons are better than Trey Burke.
Clearly he's better than any PG we currently have. He's better than Mack and Neto. Are people really going to argu with me over this? He can run our offense, move the ball around, keep the team moving.
Now is he ideal for our starting pg role? Hell no. We need to resign hill or make a move to bring Rubio or Beverley.
What I'm saying is that it was a good pick. He's our best PG currently, better than Mack or Neto.

You are probably trolling, but I'll bite.
premature point guard evalue-jaculation.
How about we watch him in the D league and then in the NBA before we conclusion-jump?
Average athlete with limited change of speed or burst, good but not a great shooter, lauded for "leadership" and being a "winner", ball dominant college guard, lost in the Championship game, OK passer without advanced passing ability or ability to breakdown NBA defenses consistently enough to playmake at NBA level.
Gonzaga at least runs a faster style offense compared to Michigan so maybe the speed of the game wont hit him as hard as it did Burke.

I'm surprised we even traded for Hill... I mean, hadn't we recently darfted Olivier Hanlan? So Confused.
I think NWG will be able to post smaller guards like Neto for example. My real concern is that his 'physical' brand of defense will just get him in foul trouble.
It shocks me how much stock people put into rookies. They have such high expectations of how they are going to do inedited and yet no patience to wait for them to develop.
1st and 2nd year players are almost always a liability to be on the court.
Also chances are higher that a new player will bust than become even a starter let along a star.

You'll say anything out that ***!!! Really, the 55th pick before he plays a single NBA practice is better then Exum, idiot!!
Second round pick signifies nothing, it is just a potential upgrade of our 3rd string PG, who likely will be on a 2 way contract this year. Whether Raul or NWG is third string PG should have no bearing on Hill. That said, Hill is probably gone but I hold out some hope.

Not sure how many of you guys are Cougar fans. If so, you should be familiar with NWG. My Zags have been kicking your asses ever since you thought you'd come into the WCC and rule the conference. OK, you guys got lucky this year. Zags underestimated you and you crushed our hopes of an undefeated season. You ******* Mormons! We'll get you next year...again.
NWG is a great PG. He may never be a starter, but he's going to be a top backup in the league for a long, long time. That's why I just signed up on the board. You all don't realize how lucky you were to get him. I understand the Zags' PG Godfather (Stockton) gave his personal recommendation. That should be an indication of just how good he is.
