jimmer=next Redick, choose alex burks instead!

[gasol_stopper_ante_tomic]

Redick is listed at 6'4, Jimmer at 6'2, how many times do u see orlando's opponent exploit that mis-match ? if Redick can't guard anyone, Jimmer will be even worse.

i go for Alex Burks if he is avail, otherwise Singleton is my pick

 

[Dr. Jones]

Jimmer is 6'7

 

[7StraightIsGreat]

But Jimmer's work ethic and heart are supposed to overcome such obstacles!

Ya know, because nobody else in the NBA has ever had work ethic and heart.

Redick is actually a pretty solid defensive player. There are certainly worse.

But if burks is there at 12 he's the obvious choice.

 

[JohnStockalypse]

I don't think Jimmer will be even on Redick's level in the NBA. I'd much rather have Burks.

Yeah... wasn't this very board all up tryin to GET Reddick as one of our wings?

Jimmer could fill a role on our roster. The Nets wanted to get him last year, but he didn't declare. If nothing else we know that he can work under pressure. Easily worth a 10+ gamble in a "weak" draft.

Agreed - not only that, am I the only one noticing the lack of buzz on Alec Burks in the combine and workouts? Perhaps it's because he's a combo guard without a great handle or jump shot who would probably not be a lottery pick in many drafts?

I think it's pretty simple. Barring an unbelievable trade offer - this is how it goes:

3 - Kanter/Williams
12 - Fredette


OR

3 - Knight
12 - Singleton

 

[Justys]

Id much rather Singleton over Burk and if Dwill falls to 3 I hope they trade the pick for another asset plus the 4th, 5th, or 6th pick. And still take Knight and Singleton while picking up another option. Maybe something like Calderon, Derozen, 5th pick for the 3rd (williams), Okur, 12th pick, Then Package Harris for Batum.

I read good things about Burks and the reason why the Jazz won't draft Burks is because he won't be there at 12. The Bucks will select him with the 10th pick.

 

[Justys]

I just read the jazz our telling player agents they our going to use both picks

Or perhaps this lack of buzz means KOC surprises everyone and drafts him 3rd. That would feel like a kick in the groin.

...until he turns into Jordan.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Does Alex Burks happen to be related to Kyle Weavers?

 

[The Thriller]

Comparing Jimmer to JJ shows complete lack of basketball knowledge. The two have very few similarities at all. Comparing Jimmer to JJ is like comparing Deron to CP3.
