Following potential 2013 draftees

I think tonight showed why he really isn't worth giving anything up of value to get him. I kind of knew that all along, but the whole tourney really left me unimpressed by him. He played like he did all year and didn't really step his game up as much as I thought he would.

Can't help thinking Burke was too slow for Siva tonight. He couldn't catch up with him defensively and couldn't shake him offensively.

I know he scored tonight, but there are certainly question marks over how he'll translate into the NBA. I don't think he dispelled any question marks tonight, which is good for us.

Just want to say that it just wasn't tonight for me. It was the whole tournament. I just didn't really see him elevate his game past what he did in the regular season. I still think he is worth a late lottery pick, and definitely would take him if he falls to us somehow, but I just don't see him as the PG savior for the Jazz. I see Darren Collison.
 
Hats off to Louisville, but starting a slow clap for my team. Beilein, Burke, McGary, GRIII, Tim Hardaway, Nick, Spike, Lavert, Morgan, Horford, and the rest of the guys. What a awesome run in the tournament and great way to finish my time here at Michigan. Man, so close to winning it all, but the journey was the best part. It's been a fun 3 years and I'll miss catching every game at Crisler. Go Blue!

Hope the Jazz can get one of these guys!

Burke can't get by anybody without at least one pick.

You realize that if he could he would be a top 3 pick in this draft, yes?

Not sure why we worry about this when we have two other players on this roster capable of solid penetration. We just need a floor general PG to get us in our spots, defend competently, and punish teams for leaving him out on the perimeter.


Burke is about as perfect of a fit for the Jazz as they possibly come.
 
I already posted this, but can you imagine this lineup closing games?

Burks
Hayward
GRIII
Favors
Kanter

I feel like we'd win a lot of games with that group.

It'll be interesting how he does in the combine against other PG in terms of acceleration, speed, agility, etc.

He's a steady hand at the point, but hard to see him having much success attacking the rim / paint in the NBA. He failed to finish several plays tonight, and had 1 wild layup that went in.

I see him as a younger version of Earl Watson or Tinsley.

GRIII isn't big enough to play SF and isn't skilled enough to play SG. He could be like Wesley Johnson. He plays some D though. I think I'll call him Wesley.

I dont think you've watched enough games. He's a small forward that has been stuck at power forward all season.

He does have potential though.

I'm not a supporter of drafting him, but over Archie all day.

I like Burke, and after Smart, he's my choice for the Jazz. It's moot though because he'll likely go top 10. See sig.
