I'd give odds Burke won't make the regular season roster... Nelson won't like his lack of hustle or his fitness level.

I thought his problem was his overhustle which led to mistakes combined with his stone hands. He also seems decently fit.

Burke has the athletic talent to be a role player in the NBA. Too bad he cannot coordinate his skills with his decision making.

He looks somewhat fit but I clearly recall his one big opportunity with the Suns - he'd just had a decent outing versus Yao Ming & Rockets when we played San Antonio. He did fine in the about seven minutes of PT in the first half but after five minutes on the floor in the second half he was sucking wind and TD easily outran him down the floor for a lay-in. D'Antoni was royally ticked off and sat him down - for the rest of the season. In fact, Burke was never on the floor again for the Suns except in garbage time.

I think Pat has a chance to make the team. Nelson is a bit more creative at working with bigs than D'Antoni and it's not like the Warriors are all that deep. Foyle is gone and O'Bryant is all but gone based on early reports.
