What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I'm amazed Brooklyn only has one more win than us. They're old as heck and have had some injuries, but they have a lot of decent players. I think the worst record will be OURS!
 
For all of my hate about Burke, I'd rather have him over Smart.

Oh I do not agree with this.

Smart is/will be just as good of a shooter, better driver, better rebounder, better defender, better overall player. Only thing he doesn't do as well as Burke is distribute the ball, which Burke isn't exactly exceptional at either.
 
I figure it wouldn't hurt. I think we should draft him and make him shoot hook-shots so we can call him 'The Hook Of Mormon'

I was watching the Katie Couric interview and they go into it (around the 1:12 mark):

Don't agree with this part. He's shooting below 36% from 3 this year, and shot a putrid 29% last year. Burke shot over 38% (was shooting 40% for most of the season) on 5 attempts. Burke also led the NCAA in shooting % on jumpers off the dribble.

His 3 point percentage has gone from 29% to 35.5% while increasing his attempts by two shots a game (6 attempts). His overall shooting percentage has also increased from 40.4% to 46.3% while also increasing his FGA's by two shots a game. While it's only been like 5 or 6 games, it does show a pretty dramatic increase over one year. Just from watching him play a couple times, you can tell he's a lot more confident with his shot and his form is pretty solid.

Oh and just for reference, Smart's TS% is higher than Burke's was his final year. Again, this is only through a couple games, but so far, his shot has been on point.
 
I'm a little bit unhappy wiht parts of UGLI's signature. I think we can find a better line for both Parker and Exum.

What y'all think about:

Nice response. We'll see if he can keep it up.
