Schroeder played a very nice game in the Hoops Classic. I was impressed with his speed, 3 point shot and passing. But Andrew Harrison ate him for lunch whenever Schoeder tried to guard him. Schroeder oozes potential and there is a lot to like, but he's a long ways away from being able to run an NBA team. He's very raw. Let's not kid ourselves here. He needs to bulk up and continue to learn the mental part of the game.
Burke is ready now. Dude is showtime. He would start for us on Day 1.
Schroerder could be ready in a few years. But maybe that's the direction we want if we're looking to tank another season. Time is on our side here. We're in the rebuilding / development phase.
Trade down, pick up a future pick and draft Schroeder... I wouldn't hate the move. Anything but drafting Noel or McLemore is fine by me.
And I love it when Burke fans act like their girlfriends just cheated on them when someone talks about another pg that isn't trey. Calm down dude.
And I love overreaction due to incomprehension. You're the one that needs to calm down dude.
There was nothing in my post that suggested Burke was the best and only option for us. I had a lot of good things to say about Schroeder. I said time is on our side and we could afford to develop him. I even said I wouldn't mind trading down and getting him.
So whatever it is that's blinding your vision, take it off!
We all know Hennigan will do his background check on draftees, even our beloved T.Burke was suspended for "out of character issues".

But this here is alarming, especially if he going to a franchise with young players:
More concerning is the body language he shows on occasion, as he seemingly loses his temper somewhat easily, and can be a bit too demonstrative around his teammates, especially considering his age. He faced harsh criticism for this from his former U18 national team, Kay Blumel: “He's not a bad kid, but sometimes his behavior towards his teammates is not how it should be," the coach told FIBA Europe.com in July of 2011.
"At this time a year ago it was even worse than it is today. He has improved a lot on that and is still improving. I'm telling him that as the point guard you have to be the leader of the team. You need to get your teammates behind you and follow you. And you have to take care of that on and off the court - that everybody likes to play with you."
Schroeder was also suspended for a game last year by (now former) Braunschweig head coach Sebastian Machowski, reportedly for insubordination.
