Depends what you mean by outplay

He can easily go and out score them in a game; his 3pt shot should be one of the best in the league for starting PGs

I don't think there's really a definition for it lol. Just at the end of the game, putting raw stats aside and taking both ends of the floor into consideration, how often will you be able to say Trey Burke got the better of John Wall or Jrue Holiday? I just feel like that will not be something that occurs often. Guys like those two will be able to play solid D on him but he probably will not be able to stay in front of them.

It's between Alex Len and Ben McLemore, I'm hearing. I'm gonna go with McLemore. Which of course means the Cavs will take Nerlens Noel.

lol

 

[bosoxlover12]

Due to Zeller, Nawlins is gonna get Mack/Dipo now

 

[buzzy]

I have heard Trey Burke was very close to a promise from the New Orleans Pelicans at #6

 

[elcheato]

Eww. I still think the Hornets obviously have a good future with AD, but I just don't see it with Burke. Just don't. Pretty adamately against him, and it has little to do with Michigan. He's a C-Bus guy still.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd much rather McCollum but still wouldn't mind Burke I guess.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The Burke/Davis pick and roll with Anderson and Gordon beyond the 3pt line does sound fun though.

 

[elcheato]

I'd take Pope or Zeller at 6 if I was New Awlins.
 
Honestly, if Anthony Bennet falls, I'd roll the dice on him and figure out fit later. Hope Davis starts roiding up or something.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He's supposedly gained 15 lbs this offseason. If that is true he's probably a legit 7 ft and 235 lbs.

I still think McCollum should be the pick though, he probably has the best chance to be the best player in a playoff series.

 

[elcheato]

I'm not sure how I feel about McCollum. I like him I guess, but I'm not sold. He's kind of just there to me.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Have you researched him? The guy is incredible. I'm shocked he isn't being projected higher. Had something like a 92% efg percentage in spot up situations last year. Only 12 games, but that's incredible. Chad Ford has him as his #1 PG on his big board now.

 

[elcheato]

I'd be lying if I said I watched a lot of him. I'd take him over Burke and MCW for sure though.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm hearing Zeller is flying up boards right now.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Could go as high as #4, and even Orlando at #2 has brought him in for a workout twice. But they reportedly want to trade down.

 

[RipCity32]

Interesting. This draft is going to be insane. Not a single lock whatsoever. And Zeller going possibly top 5 shakes things up a shit ton as well.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm calling it now, if the Celtics trade KG and PP, they will win the lottery in 2014.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I might be in the minority but I think that Celtics team wouldn't be that bad.
