What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Per 36

Leonard:

13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists 36% from 3

Burks:

14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists 36% from 3


And that's with Burks being benched till Christmas, followed by playing out of position. It's been a total cluster **** of a season for Burks, where as Leonard gets to play for one of the greatest coaches in history.

Also, as rookies, Burks as a rookie averaged 16 points per 36, Leonard averaged less than 12. I'm not saying Burks is a lock to be the better player, but I do think Leonard is overrated, and Burks would be getting a lot more attention if he was in the same situation as Leonard or Klay Thompson.

I would still take Burks.

Leonard is a better defender at this point. Burks could get better.

For sure, and probably always will be. I just get annoyed when people wish we had Klay or Leonard without acknowledging the vast difference in their situations compared to Burks'.

I like Burks at the PG more and more. I get really annoyed when I see Tinsley or Watson enter the game. No reason for it at this point.
 
It's one of those office parties with a sheet cake before people leave at 5:30p and the company is too cheap to give up more than 10 minutes of employee time.
