Following potential 2013 draftees

More on Burke...

I have a feeling teams will prefer upside over a safe pick on draft night... the NCAA finals are long gone in the distant memory... Also because Burke hasn't been competing in workouts, it's really hard to peg him above MCW.

Yep.

 

[The Midnight]

Yep.

I wouldn't be surprised if teams got cold feet and went with MCW and McCollum before Burke. If he's still available at #9, I think he'll fall all the way to #14.

I think Pelicans is KEY. If they pass up on him, I can see him slide BIG TIME.

What about the Kings? Burke>Muhammad for them?

Pelicans are probably furious that len is outa reach...

Len and Davis would have been problems

kings have all short PGs... MCW goes to the kings or detriot...

Christian Watford is getting some traction in the 2nd round apparently....

[The Midnight]

I got MCW going to the Pelicans.

The problem is there are 6 legit players in this draft: Len, Noel, Porter, Oladipo, McLemore and Bennett.


Pelicans would be stupid to not pick one of those 6 if he falls to them. Burke isn't/shouldn't be in that group IMO.

but the 76ers already have Jrue Holiday?

They don't really have any solid backup pg's and Trey could possibly come in right away behind Jrue.

Every team should be drafting bpa anyways. Its dumb not too. Players are like assets. You don't make a bad investment all in the name of diversifying.

Yikes! I hereby nominate you as the Tanker General.

 

[The Midnight]

Hmm.. but they have no backup big neither, and a backup big is usually worth a lot more in the FA market... Also if Bynum leaves what happen?

I shall wear this title proudly.

 

[David Stern]

Obviously if Burke falls to 14, we're all going to **** ourselves.

That's a little extreme, OG..

I LOLed at this exchange.

I don't think any available big would be able to go in right away and contribute the way Burke could. But like Hack said, BPA. Trey would be too good to pass up for them.
