What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Burke for sure. His speed and shooting would be a huge positive for the Jazz. His decision making also really impresses me. He isn't a magician passer, but he is smart.
 
I'm just glad we have some decent PG options in the draft. With three PG's and two picks, we should be able to snag one, and I like them all decently well. I go back and forth on my rankings of them, any one would be a breath of fresh air.
 
Have only really started thinking about the draft today with our PG need in mind.

What do you guys think about:

Burke: DJ Augustine
MCW: Shaun Livingston
C.J. McCollum: Jimmer

Ridiculous? Fair? Thoughts?
 
During tonight's televised games I discussed earlier in this thread, Dakari Johnson will announce his college choice at halftime of the ESPNU game. Johnson is the #1 rated C in next year's class.

***spoiler alert***

It's UK.

You're always spoiling that kind of stuff. It's almost no fun.
 
I'll let someone else give a go at it .. I'm too tired.

I know they're ranked in the teens in mocks but i just don't see a keeper there. May be Burke with his quickness and shooting is best of the bunch but nothing to get excited about imo...
 
My DVR is going nuts with the basketball today.

Shabazz about to play at 1.

CJ McCollum playing on NBC Sports Net at 3PM against VCU.

Then, the high school games at 4 and 6.

I also still haven't watched last night's Jazz game. Yay for basketball.

I'm actually jealous of you right now. I fulfilled my fatherly duties of the dinosaur museum and now lunch with the family. I have already folded about 4 loads of laundry.

The rest of the day should be mine!
 
FWIW, Trey Burke is taller, heavier, longer, and more efficient than Augustin was. Arguably more productive as well. Better PG too.

Lol come on over.

Just finished the Jazz game and am watching UCLA now. I hate their offense so much. I'm 6 minutes in and I think Shabazz has taken one shot. They have one of the best scorers in the nation and they seem to forget he even exists.

Along with all this basketball, I'm also going to try to get a workout in, and I have a date. This has the potential to be a 5-Star day :)

Espn has them as both being 6'0. But yeah it seems like he's a better passer...

Still think he'll be gone by the time we pick anyway.. and can he really be our future pg??
 
Porter didn't have a great day. No biggie, the style of the game was definitely a defensive effort and slower paced.
 
How can you know when we are going to pick?

Well no I don't. I think we'll prob. finish as the 8th seed again in the West. So that puts us say around #14-#18. Burke is projected as #13 in the SI column. Detroit could use a true PG. Orlando could use one. So can Dallas. Seeing as he's the frontrunning PG I think he'll probably rise a bit. So may be around the #10 mark (ala Rivers/Marshall last year).
 
Ok have done some more research on trey Burke and I am liking him more and more. I would not be upset if we draft him at all. I like how he manages the game. What I like most is when he makes a good play it is not all about him. He just gets back and gets ready.
