    Burke reminds me a ton like DJ Augustin and Kemba Walker.

    Burke is going to be a great player, I liked him since the first time I saw him, we don't need him as much with both Lillard and Maynor but he may very well be BPA if he's there when we pick.
    Another player we didn't discuss much is Jeff Withey, I would be very happy if he's our player, I think he could add a lot to our front-line.

    I wonder if LaQuinton Ross of Ohio State will come out? He looked pretty good to me. He could develop into a solid NBA player imo.

    Best player available. If he is there I would take him. I don't ever want them to worry about playing time. Rosters change quickly. Injuries occur. They need to just take the best player on the board. They can always trade one of them later.

    But Burke will be fine always being a back up?

    Oladipo is starting to get mentions as the number 1 pick, as well as what has been previously stated.

    The Beavs need somebody like that to work with Eric Moreland. He could be special. Too bad Obama's brother-in-law is too stupid to realize it.

    I just saw that Moreland declared for the draft.. He's not on any top 100 lists though, so I'm assuming he'll dropout? When is the deadline for that?

    I'll be shocked if Burke measures 6'1" with shoes. Lillard looks like a midget on the court, but he is nearly 6'3" with shoes and has long arms with a 6'8" wing span.

    I thought Moreland was declaring for the NBA draft? Didn't I just read that somewhere?

    He is if he hires an agent. He has a decent chance to be an NBA player in a couple years if he stays.

    Yeah, but he should wait to test the waters later, right now is pointless to test the market because his stock is non existant
