The Official 2013 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[tremonthustler1]

Nothing surprises me anymore, but that would be a mistake from quite a few teams if he does drop.



:sheit:

He'll be much better than Augustin. Burke has deep NBA range. Augustin couldn't even dream of having Burke's jumper.

As I said during CBB season, not many teams are fiending for PG's


Cleveland- obvious reasons

Orlando for some reason doesn't like Burke enough to consider him BPA, which is where they'll go.

Washington- Wall

Charlotte- Kemba

Suns- Dragic

Hornets- Vasquez-- and them going after a PG just because they wanna root for a midget PG again like Chris Paul is ridiculous

Kings- possible, but I also think having Burke AND Isaiah makes it impossible to play them together even for spurts. Mismatch nightmare

Pistons- this is Brandon Knight's worst year ever, I'll just say that.

After that you won't see a team go near him til Utah.

Cleveland, Washington and NO are the only teams without a need at the PG spot, in my opinion (PHX wouldn't draft Burke either). Sacramento needs to blow their whole roster up; I don't want to see Burke land there with all those head cases.

You're right Michigan men typically can't handle adversity.

Would this Greek freak be a good fit on the Kings brehs? Put your team biases aside and be honest.

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

I'd be shocked if he fell that far. NBA GMs are idiots though.

I'm conflicted Now that he left scUM, should I continue to hate him or root for the buckeye state product

He's at least 2 years away from making any meaningful impact, but that depends on how your team's scouts can nurture overseas talent.

The Kings only have 1 draft pick in the 1st round, and I highly doubt he goes in the top 15, he will probably be stashed overseas. I think he goes as high as 18 to the Hawks. And for the Kings, its going to be completely different for them, not sure if they are going to blow it all up entirely but I do like the Mike Malone pick-up for the Kings, and G.A. would play the 3 in the NBA later, not sure if the Kings are going to use the amnesty on Salmons. Even though it looks like he was beasting against middle school kids and no competition, but his length and his ball-handling should be able to translate to the NBA ASAP though. But, gotta see what the Kings plans are. I heard that they wee trying to trade Isiah Thomas to the Cav's for the 19 pick and another pick too I believe. But, I'm assuming the Kings are gonna take Burke or Michael Carter Williams.

Greek Freak would look good on the Bulls as a replacement for Deng

Don't write off Kemba Walker. BX Pride aside, he improved pretty much everywhere. He's not the problem there in Charlotte.

I actually like Walker, but he's not a pure point. Burke can fill that role. Walker's best situation is as a 6th man, in my opinion.

Why though? It's not like Burke and Kemba could play alongside each other.

Besides, the only difference between Kemba and Trey is that Kemba won his National title. People like Trey for the same reasons people liked Kemba.

Kemba was never the PG Burke was in college. Better scorer, but 6'1" scoring PGs rarely lead you anywhere. Start Burke and bring Walker off the bench.

Kemba's been a better PG as a pro than he ever was in college

and that ain't his fault. It's like blaming Kyrie Irving for why Cleveland's drafting first.
