Alec Burks

Everyone has been talking about the #1 pick, its pretty obvious we will go with Kyrie Irving. But what about #4? In another fan post, a poll showed many people voted for Enis Kanter. I think we are overlooking other options, Kanter has made it obvious that he wants to play in Washington by skipping interviews with other teams. Do we really want a Ricky Rubio situation? Besides, Kanter has played below-average competition for over a year. He does not seem to have a good attitude, and also i may be stereotyping a bit here, but he just screams DARKO MILICIC to me.

Now lets look at another option, 19 year old Alec Burks. Playing in the Big 12 he scored double digits every game except for one when he hurt his knee. This kid is 19 just like Irving, and in a draft severely lacking star potential, Burks is 6'6 with tremendous upside. Most draftboards have him sliding to around 10, but remember, Kobe Bryant was drafted 13th. He led his team in rebounding as a freshman and was second in scoring at 17 per game. Lets face it, we are weak at shooting guard. We are more established at center with Varejo and Hollins and other young talent. Kyrie Irving and Alec Burks will kill it together for years to come. Thoughts, comments? this is my first Fear the Sword post.
