I Wonder if the Jazz F/O Regret This

I would be shocked to hell if Trey throws up a game like that anytime this year.

Most people are shocked this kid did it. It is an anomaly. If it proves to not be an anomaly then they got a steal, but this is nothing anyone could have, would have, or did predict. It's a surprisingly great game and he beat the odds. That is all it is at this point. One data point does not a trend make.
 
I liked MCW and stated so on this board, but I was all about Burke and on draft night and preferred Burke over C-W. Let's wait and see what Burke does.
 
I was high on MCW at first, then was 50/50, then pretty cautious about him by draft night.

Everyone has said basically everything there is to be said about his performance, except one thing: remember, he's like two years older than Trey.
 
I just want to go on the record and say that I thought the Jazz should have drafted LeBron James in 2003. Eat crow everyone.

So are you predicting that Trey will have this same game on opening night in two years?

I was one of the lone supporter for MCW as is clearly illustrated by this poll:

But I do realize that the FO may view MCW as too much of what Burks already brings to the table. Tall, athletic combo guard, with limited shooting ability.

One thing MCW had on Burks though, which was clearly the case even in college was his ability to make passes and get assists. His court vision is still miles ahead of where Burks' is. He was also a very good defender even though he had to play zone defines at Syracuse.

I'm predicting that MCW won't necessarily be the better player in the long run, or even now, just because of his performance last night. And even if MCW looks better over the course of the season, Trey being that much younger is good reason to have patience.
 
You do have to give props to David Locke though. He always stated that's who the Jazz should go after in the draft.

Ya know, I follow the draft thread fairly closely...and there were definitely not this many people calling for MCW. Just sayin.

I'll be honest I was hoping we could either trade up and get Mccollum or nab Ollynk with our own pick. I had not even considered TB as an option(didn't think we had a chance) so he wasn't even on my radar.

Hmm, I don't remember that.

I ran into Locke at the game again last night. We be tight now.

I wanna be tight with him. Maybe "go after" is not accurate but he did always say he would be the best PG in that draft.

He referred to it in this mornings podcast.

I haven't watched his morning podcasts that many times tbh. Not a morning person, and I get enough Jazz talk as is. :)

I don't think I ever saw that poll, hence why I never voted. In this pre-draft Big Board poll from 06-11-2013, you and I were the only two people who wanted to take MCW, even ahead of Schroeder (who was my #1 option for most of pre-draft analysis, and especially if we stayed at 14, but I thought there was merit in moving up for MCW and taking a gamble).

With all of that said, this was just one game. I wish him continued success, but hope Burke will be great as well (even though he was 4th on my list to draft in the weeks before the draft).
