I love how the Jazz played this draft. They trade #21 to move up to #9, then get #26 to make up for it. They trade #46 and cash to get #26, but then they turn around and get #47 for a future 2nd-round pick.

The Jazz did their homework and danced circles around other teams. They got Trey Burke for #14 + a future 2nd round pick and some cash.
 
I just watched the Trey Burke interview on NBA TV with Craig Sager and his interview sounded just fine, again his first interview with the Twolves hat he had no clue there was a trade in the works and he even mentioned it in this interview. Oh on a unrelated note his suit looked good with the Jazz hat.

Zbone can be down on this all he wants and he could be right but he is not right about the interview or about hoping Horny could coach him up on shooting... not sure how or why he missed the news about him being the Suns HC.

2. He is small. But not that small. And this is not that big a deal.
Burke measured 5-foot-11 and 3/4 inches tall at the pre-draft combine. But that just measures him to the top of his head, and how often does a player use the top of his head?
Burke has big hands and is deceptively long. He has a longer reach than Lehigh guard C.J. McCollum, even though McCollum is 2-1/2 inches taller. Some teams may like Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams better than Burke because Carter-Williams has "an NBA body," but they need to look more closely. Carter is, indeed, five inches taller than Burke. But his wingspan is only 1-3/4 inches longer.

He also measures less than an inch in both the "real" height gauges compared to Deron Williams.

Burke: 6'5.5" wingspan, 8'1.5" standing reach
Deron: 6'6.25" wingspan, 8'2" standing reach
 
Burke may not be perfect, but he is the best PG in the draft as of now, and he was the right guy to take at 9: BPA, position of need, safe pick.
 
Jalen Rose predicted that Burke would be the rookie of the year due to the pick and roll and immediate need for a point in UT. Saw it on sports center tonight.
 
The trainer in this video is wearing a Utah Jazz shirt and Burke is decked out in 'Jazzish' colors... premonition?!?
