Official Trey Burke Rising Stars Game Thread

[UGLI baby]

He said Marshall AND Giannis. Can you argue against that?

But he also said, "heck I'd take just Marshall over Burke."

Assuming we are talking bout Teh Thrilltard.

Wow, I didn't know that reference. Good work!

I was thinking Chappelle Show. It was on there, right?

I wish Burke had Lillards hops.

lillard's max vert is 39 1/2 inch. so burke has 3 inches to go. hit the gym trey!! military squat, lunges and calf raises!!

This makes no sense to me.

According to DX, Lillard has a 7'11.5 standing reach with a 40'' vertical.

Burke has a 8'1.5 standing reach with a 37'' vertical.

Theoretically, at the height of both their maximum verticals, Lillard only has an extra inch on Burke. Why then can Lillard throw down extremely sick dunks, but Burke can barely even dunk it?


Just goes to show you how worthless the NBA Combine really is.

Agreed.
Lillard can get up way higher, faster, and easier than trey.

The numbers dont make any sense

lillard - 34.5 inch no step, 39.5 inch max vert, 6ft 1 3/4, and 7ft 11 1/2 standing reach

trey - 29.5 no step, 36.5 inch max vert, 5ft 11 3/4, and 8ft 1 1/2 standing reach
https://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Trey-Burke-36200/

but lillard has bigger wingspan - meaning lillard has much wider shoulders and trey's arm is long as hell.

and look at the no step vert. trey is only 29 1/2 inch. basically trey never worked out in his life. just look at the bench number. 185lb 3 times? that's weak sauce. seriously.

and no step vert is all about doing squat. there is no ifs and buts about it. NFLers have much better no step vert than NBA players because they squat to death weekly basis.

What?

I don't care about all those other measurements. The only ones that matter in dunking are standing reach, max vertical, and hand size. Lillard's longer wingspan might allude to bigger hands though, which certainly makes dunking easier. The biggest problem a lot of players have with dunking is palming the ball.

And why would you list barefoot height? Last time I checked, no one dunks without shoes in the NBA.

 

[Fabtrey]

also look at the 3/4 court sprint. trey is actually faster than lillard.

that's surprising too.

i'm just comparing their athleticism, etc. basically trey isn't far off from lillard. and his long arms make for his vert. and maybe lilard is 2 leg hopper? bottom line, trey should look more athletic on court. but he just doesn't look the part. maybe he just doesn't play at full speed.

and barefoot matters. i'm 6ft 1 and i don't go around telling everyone that i'm 6ft 2 1/2 with my nikes on.

it's like NFL. combine speed and sunday speed are 2 very different thing.

Jeremy Lin has one of the fastest time ever in court sprint. he is indeed the fastest guy for houston. lin is fast as hell in straight line for sure. but is he really faster than d rose or westbrook? i have my doubts.
