The Church of Alec Burks

[franklin]

^^Wade entered the league at 21 and didn't turn 22 until half way through his rookie season. Burks turned 22 prior to his 3rd season.

Other than only that minor detail, I fully agree. Burks is >>>> 22 y.o. Wade, let's trade him for the 4th pick in this draft.

Someone said that Burks is better than Wade was at age 22? Seriously?

I said he might be..... compare wades and burks stats from wades 2003 season and you will see they are quite similar per 36.
Spoiler.... burks averages more points per game

Ya, admitted cherry picking on my part.

Buts its not burks fault he was drafted after just turning 20

Burks > Monta Ellis ...which says what, I don't know.

It's not yane's fault he was ineligible to play his freshman year for failing an engrish test either. He was held back like Kanter was so you need to take his 23 y.o. stats for comparison. 2nd half of sophomore season when he averaged 30/6/6 compared to Burks 15/4/3.

Fish is a good dude. He's in that trolling stage of internetting so we humor him kindly.

I didnt say burks 3rd year in the nba was similar to wades

I said burks at 22 and wade at 22 are similar. (and wade got 35 minutes per game right off the bat in his rookie season)

Fish is a good dude.

Thanks.

You too frank

All I've got to say is Alec Burks has that potential to be something serious. He could realy become Dwayne Wade like if he develops a mid range game.

Already seems to have that mid range game

Burks is >>>> 22 y.o. Wade.

Hmm some people seem to agree.

Bumped because Fish seems to think that I have never given credit to Burks this season, even though I made this thread on opening night.

In my Pimp C voice, Alec "Church" Burks.

*confirmed new nickname*

I think that yourself, zulu, and I should be prophets of the church (I might be forgetting 1 person, seems like there were 4 of us)

Franklin can be the antichrist of the church.

Repped for this wonderful thread being created

Burks and Boozer both tied for most points dropped on the Heat this season. Damn. He was completely beating 'Bron off the dribble as well. Srsly impressive.

Fish is right, I've never complimented Burks this season.

Quick, quote all the Burks = Wade posts before fish delete and Zulu claims that's a myth.

He might be better right now than d wade was at 22 years old though

Just checked wades stats at 22 years old (2003) and they are quite similar to alec except that wade averaged 35 minutes per game

I fully agree. Burks is >>>> 22 y.o. Wade

There ya go frank.

I compared burks to a 22 year old d-wade.
Oh the shame

did you make this thread before or after the thread about us going to the playoffs?

No idea, actually. I'm going to guess after.
