Following potential 2013 draftees

Whoah... if Burke has Lillard's upside I could see it. But as it stands I just don't see it.

I would be really surprised if Burke outplays Bledsoe within the next 2 years.

How much upside did you think Lillard had his sophomore year? Answer: None, because you probably hadn't heard of him.
 
If I had to choose between:
1.) Keeping Millsap, resigning him for ~$10million and drafting Trey Burke
vs.
2.) Trading Millsap and a 1st-round pick for Bledsoe and Odom's contract.

I would choose Option-1 right now but that doesn't mean I think Burke will be a better player than Bledsoe. I can envision Burke potentially being a better fit w/Utah than Bledsoe but there's no doubt Bledsoe can do alot of things Burke can't just because of his ridiculous athleticism (and unlike Burke we know Bledsoe can do those things on an NBA-level). Burke may not be a "star" but if you get him in the mid-teens and he's on a Mike Conley "very solid starter&leader " level (and I think he's a better shooter/creator than Conley) I think the Jazz would still have a bright future w/out gambling on Bledsoe who has some warts in his game too.

Even if the Millsap-Bledsoe trade goes through (fwiw I doubt it will because I don't think LAC does it), you'd still have a 26-28 game sample-size to evaluate Bledsoe on Utah to help determine if you should target a young PG in June.
Man, I know alot of people like it but I really hate all these hypotheticals.

University of Michigan > UK
Burke > Bledsoe
Whoever coaches at Michigan > Caterpillar Callipari

i can't believe the argument about Burke and Bledsoe. as long as Ty is coach he would start Bledsoe. he would consider him a vet and having paid his dues. Burke would be lucky to sniff bledsoes jock strap year 1.
 
NBA GM - "2013 draft class historically weak"

"It's a historically weak draft that, as a result, you're going to
see a lot more guys putting their name in knowing they'll go higher in
this draft, even though they may not be ready, just because next year's
class has such incredible depth that they could actually play better and
improve and drop their draft status next year," said the GM who spoke
on condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to comment
publicly on prospects.

The GM said that the 2014 draft class is so strong that he rattled
off more than half a dozen players he would take No. 1 if they went this
year: Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Andrew and Aaron Harrison and Noah Vonleh.


"I think conservatively there are probably seven guys in next year's
draft that would have a shot at going No. 1 in this year's draft," he
said.
