great analysis, although i disagree about the conclusions. Burke’s game in college is one thing…….he cant do those things in the NBA because he lacks a top gear. This is the problem for DJ augustin for example, and for guys like devan harris and mo williams. If you are a six foot pg, you have to accelerate….ty lawson does that, kemba even does that, conley does that (not as well as one might wish)……or guys are just out there with defense in mind first…Rondo, or both like chris paul. Burke strikes me as smart, efficient, but not likely to score effectively at the pro level…..AND most problematically, he is going to struggle on defense. His lack of lateral quickness is pretty glaring.

Denzel Valentine scored 5 ppg and shot 28% from three. That’s good help, Valentine just happened to make a shot. Other than that good article, I agreed with much of it.
