8. "Burke, Bazz or MCW in that order" In response to Reply # 2
Could probably switch Bazz and Burke, either way. MCW can add some weight, he'll definitely need to. Who knows, maybe there's another Drummond like drop and we get an Oladipo or something.

I think Burke is gonna be a good pro. Maybe not stellar but definitely no worse than say a Mike Conley. And he's a better passer than Conley (by far imo).

... he'd be an absolute lock for a Top 5 pick, no exception.
Conley is around the tenth best PG in the NBA today. It's not a diss to Trey Burke to say he won't be Top 10 at the deepest position in the league. In this draft, a PG who could push Top 15 in the league is worth an 8th pick, for sure-- especially when you have a Top 5 set of bigs going forward to pair him with.

And I agree that his highest possible immediate numbers would come there as well. Really hoping for his sake and for my boy Singler's sake that it happens.

... but someone was saying if the Pistons have to choose, and they do plan on starting Knight at the 2 as rumored, MCW would be the better fit because his height and length would help offset the height disadvantage at the 2 Knight would otherwise have. Burke and Knight would simply be too short to play together consistently.
Which would be a totally valid point if you think MCW could develop a consistent jumper.

not offset. Just IMO

Thought if we wanted a bigger guard, it'd be Mccollum, but im ok with the pick, especially considering we got Mitchell in the second. Probably a top 3 landing spot for Burke, 15 and 8 in the Burke and Burks backcourt.
