If he can stay healthy

We just got rid of one JJ Starling, I don't want another one.

JJ Burton

I disagree with both of you guys. I like Burton a lot. Put him on a good team and he and the team will thrive

I wouldn’t mind him whatsoever. Was just joking

His numbers on Miya’s site are really good for offense and defense.

Can he stay healthy? In that regard he has been similar to JJ.

This past year he had a true highly talented teammate to play with in the backcourt and in those 10 games he still only shot 30 pct from 3 with 3.8 ast to 2.7 turnovers.

How did he do the year before when he wasn't set back by the injury?

I have never been impressed with him as a playmaker. He seems to just want to score the ball.

he hasn’t been great other than being better from 3 last year but overall not a guy I’d throw 2 million plus at..

I thought so to. I also looked at the guy he played with

I think I would although I don't know the numbers for real. I would like him with a quality 5 and a good 3.

Isn’t it true George got like 4 mill? I’d rather throw 2 mill at Burton who would be a more effective guard for us, IMO.

I don't believe George got 4 million from us.

Are we interested in Burton?

 

[BEGood]

Not sure.

I wouldn’t mind him.. he can score. Would be a disaster if he got injured again. It’s a gamble with any of these guys though.

See I understand we want an elite player or players but maybe we just build a team that is like 7 starters who bust their a$$

Donnie is asking for 3-4 million and he will be entering the portal soon.

Not one bit surprising.

He averaged over 4 assists a game as a frosh. Shot 37.5% from the 3 point circle as a soph.

But his turnover numbers are high. His assist to turnover ratio is not good. Guessing that makes him a no for us.

Plus I suspect he will be costly.

We will see.

I thought last year he was met more at the rim. He seemed to score at will his freshmen year, but teams tried to smother him when he got into the lane. ND is going to need some portal money because they have lost their best players. I guess they might be saying the same thing about us too.

We need to win a bidding war to prove we are back and a player.

We need to get the right players. Simple as that.

Hard to say this, but which team is not like the others. On the flip side, nice to see Gerry included with three HOF coaches.

Always a 3rd option "Seinfeld reference "

Take a look at Michigan’s roster. Undervalued P5 players and players that excelled at a level below.

Kid from UAB likely cost an arm and a leg, but a few other key components likely were a couple steps below the top $ for their positions.

Coaching is elite. Cronin looks like a moron for not playing Mara.

As well as not finding a better way to use Kyle too.

 

[Melancer46]

Obviously a huge step up from MEAC to P4, but man this guy absolutely kicked ass across the street from me this year. Extremely impressive player, at least at that level.

Edit: And yes, I know he doesn't shoot the 3 well
