I put together the KCP highlight video for you. Cause you can't have one without the other.......

He'll find his shot. Really, he will. Honest.

"He's been nervous all day"
"He's dominating the game now"
I'm glad that his nerves didn't get the best of him; I thought they might. Thanks for posting this! Enjoying my Sunday coffee even more while watching.

But damn I miss watching that guy play.
Thanks for sharing.

#$%^ you, Joe Dumars!
You just wanted me to say that again, didn't you?

He did Trey a solid by not making him a part of the floundering Pistons franchise. Trey and his fans should be thanking Dumars.

That jumper. Those assists. That finish off the backboard. Man. So glad we got to see him play in the maize and blue for a couple years.

Even as a lifelong Pistons fan, I will say that it was great to see Trey continue to do Trey things just as he did when he was in Ann Arbor. It was also nice to see Kentavious Caldwell-Pope do....do five points worth of something....here was out there, right? Thanks to Burke, the Jazz out-assisted, if you will, the Pistons by nearly a 2:1 margin. Team A/T ratios were 1.50 for the Jazz and 1.00 for the Pistons.

Burke's passing is off the charts good. When I watched him in the summer league I wasn't sure if his game would translate, because of the greater length and athleticism, but has he ever adapted. I'm amazed that he not only finds the windows for these passes, but also puts them exactly where they need to be. His bigs can go up immediately and the jump shooters can take their shots in rhythm.

And KCP is compared to Burke because the Pistons could've had Burke and took KCP instead. First of all, the move looks bad and second, we would enjoy rooting for the Wolverine on the local team. Not hard to understand why.
Also, Pistons could've had Melo for a while but Joe D passed on him too. Quit making excuses for a guy that has been a terrible executive for going on a decade.

Joe D built a champsionship team and a perennial conference finals participant from (largely) a group of cast-offs and unwanteds.
Perhaps he looked at Trey and didn't see a cast off.
Joe has been blind since lusting after Darko in 2003.

having someone force you to open threads you are sure to hate----and then make you post.
January 19th, 2014 at 11:34 AM ^
This miss will be worst than the Darko pick.

It is so much fun to listen to these Sparty slappies who dominate the sport radio in this town say things like. What do you think the point total over and under should be for Trey Burke tonight, how about 15? Sparty # one "well I think he is gonna wanna show Joe D. up so bad that he will not get the 15". Same across the board for other commentaters. They forgot that this kid has ice in his veins, showing them up in East Lansing and in Ann Arbor when he was here. Not only did he score 20 but he had 12 assists maybe the over and under should have been assists with a # as low as 15. Nice move Joe D. you remind me of the Lions with passing on UM picks like this. EDIT one other thing not one of these guys picked UM to win at Wisky either

Its Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine!!!

So bittersweet to see this. I'm extremely happy for him, but it kills me that he could have been a Piston.
January 19th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
Somebody wake me up when the pistons are good again, hopefully its this decade.

Dude, learn some grammar please, not only was that an awful post to read but your take was not only stupid, it's just plain wrong.
Joe D. probably still has an ax to grind against U-M because his pedestrian player of a son Jordan never really had any playing time when he was in AA, just speculation on my part.
But make no mistake about it, passing on Burke will come back to haunt the Pistons for a long time, I really feel like he will be a similar player to Chris Paul, I said this during his freshman year. Jennings at PG for the Pistons is meh, he has nights where he does pretty good, but he is so damn inconsistent, whereas Burke looks like he's gonna be a stud.
Thanks Joe D., for continuing to be an awful GM for going on almost a decade now.
