Ouch!

I have huge doubts about him and I still wish we were taking him. But you're right, he'll be long gone by the time we pick. I think we take Shabazz with an eye to pairing him with Beasley as our one-two punch. That's a combo that's hard to beat. Wiggins here we come.

I saw some comparisons in messages left on draft sites. One comparison for Shabazz was Beasley and another was Hakim Warrick... now thats outright nasty.
Burke drew comparisons to Paul and Ty Lawson, which I thought pretty far fetched particularly on the defensive end. He's well worse than Nash from what they showed on his DX video. The text in the video said 'dies on screens' - I'd never heard that expression before but, sadly, thats just what he does. Heck, he died on one screen his man didn't even use.
He does have trouble finishing at the rim in the halfcourt if contested and he'll shoot from 8 feet behind the arc with lots of time on the shot clock but he dribbles through traffic almost as well as Nash and he's accurate when he stops and pops from midrange. Beautiful hesitation dribble. Passes out well and passes inside well, too.
I would guess his shot selection is fixable - he's young and the video said he'd improved greatly from his first college year to the second. But that kind of defense would be the devil to fix.
I honestly think a couple years from now we will look back at this draft and Burke will be the best player to come out of this draft. Sure he has some flaws, but I think he has the best basketball instincts and will likely be one of the more natural scorers in this draft. Couple that with his ability distribute the ball and I think it is very likely he will have the most success.

I was thinking the same thing. . .about CJ.
Noel being a bust is pretty unlikely unless injuries take him out.
Why do you think so? He has no offensive game and they could just use hack a Noel. His body doesn't look like it could hold up against bigger big men either. I think he's a pretty risky pick even without considering his injury.
