JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

[orangello]

Yesterday I broke the exact scenario the Jazz are looking at on McCollum. I just heard two more bits.

1) They're trying to get high enough to get Burke.. McCollum is option 2.
2) Also looking heavily at Zeller.

I don't see Burke as anything but a back up PG in 3 years. No thanks.

So if I'm anti-Burke does that mean I'm anti-Dal?

Id be happy if we traded up for McCollum, but if its for anyone else Id rather just sit tight at 14 and see what falls to us.

I have a hard time justifying trading Burks for anyone other than Burke. Maybe I'm too attached to Alec.

I don't see Burke or McCollum as better than Burks. Though I am a defense first sort of guy.

This is a fear of mine. Please no! He's not worth a top ten pick in my book. Not as down on him as orangello. I have him as a mid to late first on him.

PKM, do you still think the rumors of Bazz falling are lies?

 

[Fishsticks]

Yes.

I dont know..dont think we could go wrong with either. They both have drawbacks, but id be ecstatic if we walked away tonight with one of those guys.

I would be very pleased if we ended up with one of Burke or McCollum even if it cost us both our first round picks (we keep Burks).

For me, it's about seeing an uncommon talent (long, athletic 6' 6" guard that can handle the ball, get to the rim, make tough shots around the rim, get the line, can hit long open shots, boards very well, and can do some nice facilitation along the way) not get a fair chance. I've said since before the 2011 season that Burks is more of a boom/bust pick because of his skillset, and it would be hard to part with a talent that might boom before he got a fair shake and I simply do not feel that he has. The worst I've seen him play was when he was thrown into garbage time at the beginning of last year after getting unceremoniously buried behind mediocre journeyman (for the second straight year).
