Would need to add another player to the mix for salaries to match ($2.5MM).

Yuck Trey has a horrible Fg%

42/35/78 isn't terrible at all, sounds like run of the mill averages for a backup shooting PG.

Trey Burke's is basically a young Aaron Brooks on a rookie contract, maybe I'm biased because I used to love young AB, but I'll take that as our backup PG next to Harden any day of the week.

Morey tried to trade up for Burke in 2013 if y'all don't remember.

Looks like Trey Burke is def going to be dealt and all signs point to Houston. Not surprised that is all we could get for Lawson. It's a win win deal for us.

I would waive Terry and let him ride out with a contending team.

First time hearing that. Trading up to 9th pick for a 6 foot PG? -

I know Morey had a man crush on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I think people forget he was expected to be a lot better at draft time...in other words, he has the tools, it's not like he lacks talent or wasn't proven coming out of college.

-Trey Burke is widely considered the top point guard available in the 2013 draft and nothing we found in studying his situational stats would lead us to believe otherwise. He does not stand out in a major way on paper, but ranks well across the board and excels in a few key areas that should aid him in his transition to the next level.

Looking at the bigger picture, Burke's 18.5 possessions per-game, 0.999 overall points per-possessions (PPP), and 11.5% turnover rate all place him in the top-six of those respective categories. Erick Green, C.J. McCollum, and Nate Wolters all rank similarly well by those standards, and maybe even a little better, but Burke's standing in both usage and efficiency are especially impressive considering the quality of defense he faced on a nightly basis in the Big Ten and the pressure associated with being the top threat on a National Championship caliber team.

Burke did his best work as a scorer in the half court, where he once again hovers around the top-five in usage and efficiency. More a facilitator in transition, Burke sports a terrific 4.3-to-1 assist to turnover ratio on the fast break. His biggest weakness relative to his peer group may be his average scoring efficiency in transition, which is mostly due to the fact he got to the line on a sample worse 12.3% of his transition possessions.

Perhaps more so than any position in the NBA, point guards are defined by their ability to excel in one particular situation: the pick and roll. While Trey Burke ranks well in both the number of possessions he used dribble off of ball screens and the rate at which he turned them into points, what is truly remarkable about his numbers in the two-man game is the degree to which he valued the ball. Turning it over on just 8.2% of his pick and roll possessions, Burke's command of the ball makes him the only player with a single-digit turnover percentage.

Aside from the pick and roll, Burke ranks average to above average as a spot-up shooter, isolation scorer, and off screen threat. A 44.7% jump shooter off the catch and effective slasher with his left hand, Burke is a crafty shot creator with an array of weapons at his disposal to get the ball in the basket.

His biggest weapon as a scorer is his pull-up jump shot, which accounted for a sample leading 46.4% of his attempts in the half court last season. Yielding 1.01 points per-shot, Burke's pull-up is on par with Damian Lillard's coming out of Weber State (1 PPP) and was almost more effective for him than a finishing opportunity, where his 1.052 points per-shot ranks below average. It will be worth tracking how Burke fares when he attacks the rim at the next level, as his shooting at the basket and ability to create easy opportunities for himself at the line could be the key to his ability to take the next step as a pro.

Booker would be a nice addition. He's a workhorse on the glass, and one of the most vicious finishers in the league.

NBADraft.net compares him to Kemba Walker/Kyle Lowry.

But I compare him to Jonny Flynn.
