I have legitimately never seen you say one remotely smart thing in any post ever. Not saying this comment is that dumb, but I look at your posts and wish that your computer would explode and your account would be deleted and you would never come here again. I hate you as a poster. Don't know you as a man, but the hopeful man in me thinks you can't be as dumb as your posts are.

[kaiiu]

Cavs need to trade to get that 8th pick for this yung ni99a doe like

[HB40TheNextStar]

He most certainly is not.

But I'll tell you this, any team that passes over him and doesn't draft Williams, Irving, Vesely, or Kanter is going to regret it.

BTW That SG Marshon Brooks got HUGE upside to. Wouldnt mine seeing him on the team

[GOBB]

Why because he's some less talked about prospect so you wanna give him love?

Kid needs to learn how to shoot to be a "SG".

[FKAri]

That's funny because I'm like a young T-Mac when he was in Orlando.

[CelticBaller]

im like a young t-mac when he was in toronto

im like a young tmac when he was in high school

[GatorKid117]

Oh wait....

:(

[Warriors fan]

im like a young tmac when he was in New York

[PowerGlove]

Dude might as well say "I'm like a rookie MJ" or some other ridiculous shit like that.Kids these days.....comparing himself to prime T-mac? BLASPHEMY.

[Theoo's Daddy]

does that mean he'll never get out of the 1st round ? I would never draft this kid.

so..... stupid, arrogant, and a quitter?

[The Big Skinny]

No offense but the name Alec rubs me the wrong way.

Sounds like a pansy to me

[Bigsmoke]

Why is this class so cocky when it sucks?

[LA_Showtime]

Damn. If he's like T-Mac, they should probably take him first overall.

[Hondo]

If the current T-Mac was eligible to enter the draft, I'd take him over Burks.

[Nastradamus]

Diddy/Sessions - Burks-Williams-Hickson-Varejao

[jb220]

Orlando T-Mac is probably the best player in the NBA, how can you pass him up?

[(e)]

Alec Burks is going to surprise a lot of people. Don't sleep on this dude.

[HylianNightmare]

god that would be fun to watch

[(e)]

BTW That SG Marshon Brooks got HUGE upside to. Wouldnt mine seeing him on the team

Latest mock I've seen has Chicago getting him at 28. :banana:

Damn I'd kill to see that, dude is 6'5" with a 7'1" wingspan.

[Goliath Uterus]

I don't see it, but I do think Burks is going to become a great player in this league.

Yeah u mad :roll:

that's why he is right. why do you post this "u mad" ? you could at least try to explain why you post exclusively bullshit here.

[ganja0710]

Nobody will COME CLOSE to the talent level that a Prime T-Mac had. Let me rephrase that, NOBODY in this years draft class. In todays league, the only player that has somewhat of a resemblance to his game is Durant, thats it. Wait till next years draft class. Harrison Barnes is gonna be a Prime McGrady. Book it.

Cavs need to take him. They

[Burgz]

The worst thing these players can do is compare themselves to NBA players

I wish they would let their agents and pre-draft camps do the talking and focus on their own games

and the man was inconsistent from college three, he is still years away from becoming a perimeter threat

[LA_Showtime]

Not really surprised he's comparing himself to the best. Have you seen the threads where people like lilojmayo compare themselves to Micheal Jordan?

"I'm like Jordan, with LeBron's size, Ray Allen's shooting ability, Duncan's bank shot, Kobe's footwork, and KG's intensity.":oldlol:

[steve]

I get what you're trying to say here, that players coming up should focus rather on what they can do well and what their game is rather than trying to make some point of comparison that comes off as odd and force. But I couldn't get out of my head of some prospect comparing himself to some other athlete from another sport or another walk of life. "My game is really similar to the way Adam Oates used to face off" or "my game really brings the feel of John Cassavetes directing style." And then just leave it at that.

[FireDavidKahn]

Alec Burks will flop in the NBA since his Jump shot is just terrible. It's like Corey Brewer bad.

I should clarify this. I don't think he will flop as an NBA player, but I don't see him being a very good player. I bet Marshon Brooks will have a much better career than Burks

[steve]

I'm skeptical of players who play noticeably better in their senior season than they do the previous three seasons. Burks has kept up a level of consistency in both seasons of college basketball. The one thing that Brooks does better than Burks is shoot the three, and Brooks doesn't exactly do that at a high level. Burks gets to the line and creates better. I'm not saying Burks is going to be an All-Star or anything, but there's more evidence of consistency than Brooks, who was really only an NBA prospect in his senior season, which doesn't always bode well going forward.

[PleezeBelieve]

As I wrote elsewhere, Burks and Valancuinas are now 1 and 2 on my board for the Cavs to pick @ #4. Burks gives the Cavs that second attacker/initiator which would really open the court up for everyone else. Also teams would not be able to load up on Irving.

Getting a second attack player is essential to any successful offense. I think the Cavs learned this from the LeBron era. Its basically what Chris Paul is missing in New Orleans.

Burks has better handles and driving + passing ability than Brewer.

No comparison.

[kaiiu]

Burks has better handles and driving + passing ability than Brewer.

No comparison.
Depends. The Cavs might be able to land that 8 pick

[G-train]

Orlando McGrady is a top 10 SG ever talent wise.

This dude is arrogant beyond measure.

[PleezeBelieve]

Depends. The Cavs might be able to land that 8 pick
No comparison. Burks is 6,6... has a 6,10 wingspan... and has an 8,75 standing reach which is longer than Brewer, Wade, and many more who play the SG position. Actually he's in an elite tier.

[insidehoops]

I am a better version of prime Penny Hardaway

[Ikill]

Orlando McGrady is a top 10 player ever talent wise.

This dude is arrogant beyond measure.
:D

[Kellogs4toniee]

Dude might be arrogant but I loved watching him play in college and strongly believe he has the skill-set to be at least an all-star in this league. Saying what he said is just confidence. All the best players in the league have it, only difference is some players are more vocal about it where-as some as more humble about it.

He's not dumb, go to the OTC and see how much of a genius he is

[noob cake]

So we already got the next TMac, Kobe, Malone in this draft.

Williams: Best player in draft, if he is better than Kobe, Malone and TMac. Not sure who he is.
Brooks: Kobe
Kanter: Malone
Burks: TMac

Ego overwhelming

[rosonviyavong]

There's no way this guy can score 30 plus points every night on the court while pulling up wicked three pointers off the dribble like no tmr. He looks like a 15, 5 and 5 guy in his rookie year at BEST

[Lebron23]

He's my pick to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

Utah Jazz top pick Alec Burks balls out @ Indy Pro-Am

Look at the elevation.

[Fiasco]

Everybody looks good on a mixtape.

[Lebron23]

Everybody looks good on a mixtape.


Yeah

But Burks has the skills, length, and athletic ability that translate well in the NBA. It was a solid pick from the Jazz cause he has a higher ceiling than Jimmer Fredette. The kid is only 20 yrs.old. AB might get major playing time cause the Jazz have no deep at the shooting guard spot

[RRR3]

If he was like T-Mac w/ the Magic he would have been taken first overall in this weak draft class. :facepalm People forgetting T-Mac with the Magic was arguably the best perimeter player in the NBA. :no:

[UtahJazzFan88]

Agreed, I think the Burks pick for us will be better than Kanter. That said though, that video of the Charity Game here in Salt Lake City doesn't do anything to sway my opinion good or bad.

[RRR3]

Orlando McGrady is a top 1-3 SG ever talent wise.

This dude is arrogant beyond measure.
Fixed. :D :banana: :pimp:

[chips93]

wow people really think highly of burks.

i think it will be a good season for him if hes starting by the end of the year.

people always overrate rookies

[G-train]

He wont be playing ahead of CJ Miles, I think thats a given.
Maybe 15-20 mpg.

[Clippersfan86]

He's gonna be a player.

[UtahJazzFan88]

He wont be playing ahead of CJ Miles, I think thats a given.
Maybe 15-20 mpg.

Not for the first part of the season, but it's understandable given they don't have ANY time to adjust to the system in place.
