So you find Alec quite homely, huh?
He looks a lot like Burks.
I know everyone wants Burke. But I'm starting to think he will be long gone by the time we pick. It seems that while he won't be the first PG off the board, many people think he will be the best. His stock is just going to continue to rise, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the top ten. I think he is a very good fit for the Jazz, but seeing as we have no players under contracts and thus no assets, I'm not sure how we move up for him. The obvious answer would be to use both our draft picks. I hope that's enough....
BJ compared to Burks is fair. Young is more natural as a catch & shoot player, with a wicked jab &go + step-back to set it up. that translates to his mid-range game... burks not so much.
i wont vouch for his pg skills like i would burks, but hes capable of drawing help in the lane, faking a floater and throwing a crisp bounce pass to a wide open big for a dunk. i think hes a great fit to groom as foye's understudy/replacement.
EDIT: Thanks PKM. my first rep point!

- is this Gyp? & was he talking about this january, or last january?

I knew that comment re injury was gonna trigger that response. That's fine, I'm used to it now.
You know what kind of people get used to being seen as a buffoon? Buffoons.
Bro... seriously, do you enjoy that? Do you enjoy digging up stuff like this to hurt others? I mean what does this actually achieve?
I know I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but I never claim to be. Can't you accept that there are people who have different mental capacity to you?
no worries because I am the smartest and if you don't believe me just ak me.
But most of all, catch some potential 2013 draftees!
this maybe presumptuous but when i read this i think the 2 on-the-fence guys, WCS and Harrow, will declare after this season..
if somehow, something crazy happened, like a 4 game winning streak and we moved up in the standings enough to where the Jazz pick is solidly in the 20's, is harrow a worthy gamble? or has he deteriorated his value to a definite 2nd rounder... seems like the type of kid who will blow away scouts in work-outs.
