2013 NBA Draft Discussion

[ojandpizza]

I've just saw too many guys with Burkes play style turn out to be nobody's.. Hopefully he can prove me wrong: I really think this draft is one of the worst classes of the past few years.

We've got Terrance Jones, Thomas Robinson, and Donatas Motiejunas all splitting minuteds and don't forget Royce White if he ever comes up. We're good.

Doesn't the NBA run a bunch of Pick and Roll's or did I miss something.

Also Burke has an incredible step back. I don't have the #'s on him on iso's but you couldn't be more wrong IMO.

I dunno how he'll do as a pro. I think he'll be a solid NBA PG and I'm quite confident in saying that.

I like Burke but it just seems like he moves in slow motion. I feel like he could easily be a backup guard but past that I am unsure.

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

I feel the same about Burke. He's undersized and not as athletic or shifty as you'd hope for someone his size. I can see him being a solid role player but no more than that.

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

Burke looks more and more like a backup. I can't think of who he compares to...maybe Isaiah Thomas from Sacramento? The guy I really like going forward is Glenn Robinson III, he is strong and athletic. I think his upside is very good.

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

Agreed completely about Glenn Robinson. Id like to see him go back for his sophomore year, but if not I wouldn't mind the Wizards spending their late lottery pick on him.

I completely understand that. That's the book on him and he's going to have to improve in those areas. But I think he has a shot.

This is a breakdown of Burke vs. Wolters, but it also points out that Burke basically uses the pick and roll and nothing else and in isolation situations, Burke is horribly ineffective going to his right, especially when he pulls up off the dribble.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying Burke won't be a decent NBA player, but I personally think he'll end up being a bottom-tier starter or a solid PG off the bench.

Dude is right handed. Makes no sense that he's less effieicent going to his dominate hand.

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

Dude is right handed. Makes no sense that he's less effieicent going to his dominate hand.

They break it down more and basically argue that it's because for whatever reason, he gets to the rim a lot more going left than he does going right, but his pull-up going right is also far less effective than going left (but I think that's actually the case for a lot of people; I think it might just be easier to follow through when you're drifting to your left if you're a righty than it is drifting to the right, but that's just my own speculation).

[ehh]

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

Not THAT strange, it's more about footwork than strong vs weak hand.

I'm a lefty but I always drove right because I'd naturally catch and jab with my left foot, thus making it easier to attack their left foot (esp with ppl forcing you left) - which meant I'd have to use my stupid right hand. I'm honestly surprised more players don't have that tendency.

It was comical when everyone tried to force me left even though I hardly ever go that way. Stupid stereotypes.

Been a while since I have posted. But I gotta agree with you here. I've watched few clips here and there on some of these guys and I'm not impressed either lol. I feel like this Trey Burke kid is just overhyped. I mean just don't know, lol. I could be wrong.

Re: 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

I agree though. None of the players stand out much in my opinion. I see a lot solid talent though.
