IMHO this closes the book on any negative discussion of Trey Burke's size.  He is on track to be a high lottery pick.  GO BLUE!

My wife and family never feel the true emotions of what Michigan sports mean to me. As i was searching UMHOOPS.com and youtube I failed to find the banquet video, doesnt exist!? Help Welcomed! Go Blue!!!

I'm sure it'll replay...and yes, it's "just" the NBA Combine, but it's pretty cool to see Burke get the majority of the attention.

"Indiana announced Thursday that the former Arizona State guard will transfer to Bloomington and enroll in graduate school so he can be eligible immediately next season. Gordon, an Indianapolis native, is the brother of former Indiana star and NBA guard Eric Gordon."


This guy just does not stay at one place for very long (began career at Liberty), but a good move for him. Averaged 10.1 ppg last year for the Sun Devils, and could come in and help fortify a young Indiana team. Getting to play in your home state in front of friends and family is an added bonus as well.

According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, Hardaway has been extremely impressive at pre-draft workouts, not only competing against fellow guard prospects such as Isaiah Canaan, but besting them. Ford called Hardaway “the best player on the floor for all two hours” of a workout that he watched on Tuesday.

 

Hardaway has all the physical tools to be a dominant NBA player.  Hopefully he can put it all together in the NBA.

ESPN's Fran Fraschilla has Trey Burke as the top PG in this year's NBA draft.  (Duh)

Link?  LINK

He has him ahead of CJ McCollum of Lehigh.  One might says he has Burke Lehigher on his list.  (Cringe)

Fraschilla compares him to last year's ROY, Damian Lillard in that he might be able to start at PG right away for a lottery team.

 

Because Burke will be selected by a team in the lottery that will have a specific need for the position, he has a chance to have the same impact that the Blazers' Rookie of the Year, Damian Lillard had this past season. He'll likely start immediately, but I am not sure even he and his great will to win can affect a team's improvement right away.
