Trey Burke/Chris Paul

[Beantown]

Trey Burke mentioned he seems himself as a Chris Paul type player. I saw this posted on Locked on Sports and wanted to share it. It was very well done. They are eerily similar players in their size and collegiate stats. With Trey Burke's hard working attitude and desire to win I think he has a very good chance to get to an elite level just as CP3 has done.

The main difference, I would say, is Chris Paul's explosiveness/first step... he just seems much quicker... you won't find that in the stat sheet.

In those stats it shows Burke with a faster sprint which I thought was interesting. Also Burke is known to very good at the stop and go move he has. He has a sneaky way of getting past defenders.

But I still think overall CP3 is probably quicker and has a bit better playmaking ability. But then again CP3 didn't carry a team to the national Championship game.

Isnt it funny we had 3 recent lottery picks lose in the national championship game?

-Burke
-Hayward
-Dwill

The drills don't really mean jack. I think Jimmer bested Paul on the sprint and lane agility but we know in game he can't play at that speed. I watched a lot of Burke last year and he just doesn't have Paul's first step and cat like agility. I actually see more Deron in his game than Paul.

Yep agreed.

I dunno.. I think Chris Paul looks for his own shot a lot more late in his career. Burke is right up there in terms of his ability to "run a team" and "making plays".

 

[Beantown]

Amazing CP3 was shooting 47% from three his last year in college.

 

[Game6Conley]

CP3 is the best PG in the world...

does Trey Burke think he can lead the league in Steal and Assists in the same season too?

Cp3 has led the league in steals 5x now

and he and Allen Iverson are the only players in NBA history whove led the league in steals in 3 consecutive seasons

i like the confidence, but hes not proven a thing in the NBA...

 

[The Black Swordsman]

Trey Burke just as good passer as Chris Paul.
Slightly worse shooter (which is still great).
Slightly worse defense.

 

[Game6Conley]

Trey Burke just as good passer as Chris Paul.

cp3 averages 9.8 assists per game, for his career, only surpassed by Magic and Stockton all time

you think Burke (who had more turnovers than assists in the national championship) is on his level of playmaking ability? seriously?

also Cp3's carreer AST/TO ratio is 4:1

even in college Burkes was 3:1, who knows what it will be in the NBA

but to say it will be on par with CP3's is basically saying Burke should have went #1 overall

The Burke/CP3 comparisons are dumb. But to continually use one game to criticize his AST/TO ratio rate is just as dumb.

well then im dumb, thats the biggest game of his career, if he killed it in that game, think he falls to the t'wolves... ? HIS team, was run off the floor in the 2nd half, his AST/TO ratio was under 1, and he was in foul trouble

and your comparing him to the God of BBIQ, Chris Paul

I'll just take this for the trolling it is and move on.

Well in college Trey Burke had a better Assist to TO ratio then Chris Paul did in college.

 

[Beantown]

Burke or me is not saying he will be as good as CP3. He's just saying that who he is comparable too and that's who is ceiling is.


I'm just saying looking at the stats size its not impossible

 

[Game6Conley]

Well in college Trey Burke had a better Assist to TO ratio then Chris Paul did in college.

ill show u a video of Aaron Craft stonewalling Trey Burke, 1v1

look at this gameplan vs cp3 in college, they threw the kitchen sink at CP3, and the 2nd leading scorer on wake forest, Eric Williams was about 16ppg, but was under 50% ft's so teams employed the hack a shaq nightly, costing CP3 many assists

[Game6Conley]

Blackswordsman get to the part where you explain how trey burke gets to 5000 assists in the nba before he turns 28

do you think thats plausible?

hopefully Burke wont have any injuries or any lockout seasons, for excuses

CP3's highest assist per game total is 11.6 in 07-08, can Burke Surpass that?
