First off, I am a Michigan alum so it would be awesome to have Burke on the Jazz. That said, he reminds me of Sebastian Telfair with a better outside shot. I am not sure he is a longtime starter in the NBA, but he could be a solid career back-up for the Jazz--the role that Eric Maynor would have had.
All else being equal, who would you rather have running the Jazz: Bledsoe or Burke

If the Bledsoe and Splitter deals went down, I'd be thrilled. Even more if we got a pick from one or both of them too.
That's also what I fear... that due his physical limitations he'll end up being just an average player ala Maynor. Which isn't bad. But Bledsoe has shown that he can score with the best of them. His defense is also outstanding for a PG - something we haven't had for a long time.

I wouldn't compare him to Maynor. Maynor was about as unathletic as they come for point guards, and 160 lbs soaking wet. Couldn't even dunk despite being 6'3".

I re watched the Penn State game and in all honesty I can see Burke's potential. I would be happy with either. But Bledsoe's potential is already here we don't have to wait two more years to find out.
