Following potential 2013 draftees

So I lose track of this thread for a couple days and suddenly there are insider talks going on and I'm not in the loop?

My status around here has dropped dramatically. I guess that means I should start contributing more.
 
If the draft were right now, the highest Burke would go would be 12, where the Mavericks are currently picking. They have a need at pretty much ever position though, so I don't know if they would take him.

Then he would pass by T'Wolves, Celtics, and Blazers, who all pick next and have young starting PG's. Then the Hawks pick, who would be a slight threat. They do have Teague though, and if the commit to him in the off-season, they probably pass on Burke.

Then we pick and grab him.

Haven't seen him that high anywhere. Where have you seen this?

If he keeps playing like this, he could easily be a top ten pick. On the other hand, there are about 4 good PG's. All of which look to be taken around 10. With not many teams needing a PG, one of those 4 will possibly drop, but hard to know which one. I have a hard time believing that Burke will be the one that drops though.

I've been saying this for some time now. How high their stock is won't matter quite as much as who actually needs a PG to build around. Orlando and Dallas are really the only lottery teams that fall under that category, and Orlando will probably be picking higher than where any PG is expected to go.

I'm confident at least one PG would be within our reach this year. It's the level of talent I'm worried about and it made me wonder whether that player will ever be more than just an average NBA player.

Look at Maynor for example.

I like the way that Saric runs a team. I think he would be a fantastic Point Forward for the Jazz.

Saric would just be great. You can let him run the offense, or even at the 4 next to Favors/Kanter depending on the matchup, and obviously at SF.
