Yeah, I liked him fine, as well. But I don't go preaching that I was some genius for not hating on the guy.

I think there should be some accountability on this board though somehow. If you made the wrong call you should stand up to it. If you made the right call it should also be acknowledged.


I give PKM a hard time all the time about Rivers, same goes with Cy re Porter... but the opposite should also be true.

Yeah, but everyone gets it wrong sometimes. Even the guys who get payed big bucks to evaluate talent.

Yeah but what I can't stand is guys who get it wrong time after time, and yet come on these boards and make definitive statements about future draft prospects without getting checked. They're often the ones who make the loudest noise and for some reason everyone seems to listen to them.


That's what I mean there should be some record keeping for accountability, but there isn't.
 
It's really depressing to see people down on Burke. It doesn't surprise me. People were down on Burks, and Kanter too.

Burke was top 3 in ROY, and made the 1st team all rookie team. He may not be an All Star, but I was pleased with his rookie campaign. He'll get better.

Not saying much given the bust of a draft it turned out to be. Burke will be a serviceable PG, nothing more. But kudos to DL. He had two shots to get it right at PG (Burke and MCW). He got one of them by trading up. It was a position of need and he drafted for need.

That's what we want from our PG though... do we really want someone like Chris Paul who's never gonna get you the Championship but costing you 40% of the payroll????


I'd rather have someone serviceable at a reasonable cost, who can set up teammates and hit open 3's.

This.


Randle is being wayyyy underrated by this board.


I'm fine with it though. The same thing happened with MCW last year and I was proven right there.

I still think mcw sucks.

His stats are inflated cause of his teams pace of play

He was pretty inefficient iirc
 
immediate impact - randle
best overall player 5 year years later - vonleh
best defensive player who will change the culture of organization - gordon

it really is a tough call. for the future of the organization you go vonleh & gordon. for the fans, you take randle because he will look and play like #5 pick.

i love vonleh's potential. love the idea of gordon who will become our swiss army knife. but sometimes as a fan, i want the top pick to drop 20/10 once in a while and only randle will do that out of the 3 right off the bat.


i did vote for gordon because we already have kanter & favors.



solution? move up and try to get jabari parker.

Totally disagree - Take a look at Burke's college stats. between his freshman and sophomore years he made huge improvements in his points per game, assists per game, FG%, 3FG% and free throws. this kid is driven, he will come back better and more prepared this year. he basically worked with a JV team against the varsity last year and the coaching well....
