Oh snap.

Burke was a lottery pick who was rated the highest at PG in his draft class. Comparing him to these others isn't fair or accurate. Sure he's struggled but the talent is definitely there and he's still young for a point guard.

Ok call me when Anthony Bennett, Yi Jianlian, Acie Law, Al Thornton, OJ Mayo, Jason Thompson, Joe Alexander, Adam Morrison, Anthony Randolph, Johnny Flynn, Earl Clark, Hasheem Thabeet, Terrence Williams, Jimmer Fredette, Julian Wright and Xavier Henry prove their worth in the league. Former lottery pick means nothing to me. He hasn't proven anything in the league.

personally I’d prefer the talent who was looked over and blew up the in the d-League (ala Jeremy Lin, whiteside) than the highly touted young guys who received plenty of NBA burn but never did anything

Every one of these kids that get drafted have the talent and put up good numbers in college but every single year a good percentage of the kids drafted don't make it in the NBA for whatever the reason which i think is mostly mental. I can't even count all the lottery picks that end up as busts in the NBA which i'm sure you already know.

If his shooting stays steady he will be a significant asset for the team. The Perry/Mills brain trust needs to either trade Sessions for a late 2nd(if possible) or just cut him. Call up Burke and start him over Jack and just let him focus on mentoring Ntilikina. Really Trey and Frank can play together.

Burke has done nothing in the NBA to be mentoring anyone even the rookie. I think we're gonna have to wait for either an injury to J.Jack or a trade until we see Burke get his chance with the Knicks. I don't take anything any player does in the G-League against players who will never be in the NBA as what that player will do in the NBA against real NBA talent. Big difference.

Him being Jack. Let Jarrett focus on showing Frank the ropes.

why would anyone want burke up? Jeff only plays old useless vets.

He's a chucker who can't defend or pass. Perfect for tank

He's better than Jack is right now and is almost 10 years younger.

I don't think Burke really fills a need though...

He's better than Jack when playing in G-League against players that will never see a NBA floor but there's a reason why NOBODY wanted him and he sat out there so long in free agency. This is a point guard league yet nobody wanted to sign a young PG that was a lottery pick just a few years ago.

No, he's not better. Look at New Orleans, they cut Jordan Crawford for Jameer Nelson(he's old) and got much better. Ppg isn't everything. When you will learn?

He's not better than jack, opposite profil. jack is a true pg playmaker not Burke.

I see some OJ Mayo slander. he was serviceable before the suspension.

OKC wanted to sign him.

To be their 3rd string point guard after fat Raymond Felton? That's wonderful.

I do actually. He can really push the ball, better scorer than Jack, more athletic than either.

burke, right now, is not better than jarrett jack.

jack's been in the league for 10+ years for a reason, burke is out of the league for a reason.
