JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

Yea if Burks is traded I will not even care who we get. How is Burke or CJ any better than Burks? Let Burks play and show if he can consistently do it. He will be a bigger asset to trade later if he pans out. Yea I know if he sucks then his value is low but you cut your losses and move on. I am sure the Celtics wish they had been more patient with Billups before they traded him. Give Burks the opportunity and I think he will certainly produce.

Yesterday I broke the exact scenario the Jazz are looking at on McCollum. I just heard two more bits.

1) They're trying to get high enough to get Burke.. McCollum is option 2.
2) Also looking heavily at Zeller.

A lot of mocks have Burke dropping to 8. This puts the Sac pick into play for Utah.
 
I'm okay with Zeller, CJ, and (obvs) Burke for trading up.


At 14, I'm okay with Bazz-- but am pretty apathetic for the rest.

I don't see Burke as anything but a back up PG in 3 years. No thanks.
 
Id be happy if we traded up for McCollum, but if its for anyone else Id rather just sit tight at 14 and see what falls to us.

So if I'm anti-Burke does that mean I'm anti-Dal?

This is a fear of mine. Please no! He's not worth a top ten pick in my book. Not as down on him as orangello. I have him as a mid to late first on him.

I dont know..dont think we could go wrong with either. They both have drawbacks, but id be ecstatic if we walked away tonight with one of those guys.

I have a hard time justifying trading Burks for anyone other than Burke. Maybe I'm too attached to Alec.

For me, it's about seeing an uncommon talent (long, athletic 6' 6" guard that can handle the ball, get to the rim, make tough shots around the rim, get the line, can hit long open shots, boards very well, and can do some nice facilitation along the way) not get a fair chance. I've said since before the 2011 season that Burks is more of a boom/bust pick because of his skillset, and it would be hard to part with a talent that might boom before he got a fair shake and I simply do not feel that he has. The worst I've seen him play was when he was thrown into garbage time at the beginning of last year after getting unceremoniously buried behind mediocre journeyman (for the second straight year).

If Burke is going to get a fair shake, we will need to run a system that plays to his strengths. By that I don't mean bring back Foye and let him eat up 90% of the time that Burke should be on the floor.
Burke is exciting to watch, and makes things happen. When (if) he gets a chance to improve he will have a great impact on a team. It just may not be the Jazz...
 
If we're confident Shabazz will be there at #14, then I'd be fine with trading Burks/21 for Burke or McCollum. And I love Burks.
