    I think he was just trying to lift his team. McGary and Hardaway were the only ones playing decent on the offensive side of the ball.

    24 points in the championship game, despite the loss. Showed very good quickness and ability to get to the basket... I'd say the draft will be about him and Marcus Smart for point guards.

    Great college player but not an elite NBA point guard. I see him being a good back up PG

    He should be a decent starter in the NBA. His playmaking and offensive skills should translate. On defense there could be some issues because of his size.

    He needs to be more than a decent starter if getting picked in top6.

    Wonder if we can trade into the draft for him.

    Something like TRob+

    Guess how tall the best pg in the league is? That's right, 6'0.

    I think burke won't fall out top 3. Teams are always looking for a PG especially with Smart forgoing.

    I love Trey Burke and he was probably my favorite college player this past year but right now it's either we get a clear upgrade (CP3, etc.) or stick with our young and upcoming PGs in Lin and Bev. I just don't think we should spend the next couple years going into developing PG mode for a guy who analysts think might be a starting PG in the league. The risk is just too high and this team should be looking to contend in the next couple years.

    I do hope Burke becomes a starter someday, and a good one at that.

    It's true we're developing them, but Lin is a lot further than Burke atm. And its fair to say Lin is starting caliber, albeit average to below average right now. Whereas with Burke you don't know if he even will be starting caliber

    Curry....Lillard.

    I want to believe he's the next pg to drop lower than they should, but perhaps teams already have that on their minds. I won't be surprised to see him go top 5.

    Trey Burke is Kyle Lowry all over again...
    Burke and Oladipo are bothe sure bets in this draft and possibly two future all stars....Im scare of McLemore and Noel as prospects right now...
