Is he really terrible on D? If so, I'm concerned about the same defensive problems continuing, as others have said.


He is a below average defender. Doesn't rotate well, doesn't pressure well. Doesn't play the pick n roll well. Guards in college exploited him quite a bit getting around him. Peyton Siva was proof of that in the championship game.

I really think Dell/Monty are gonna go with 'Dipo over Burke regardless if that's what our choice comes down to.

Are you regurgitating McNamara's twitter now?

Guards exploited him to the tune of a 31-8 record and a trip to the finals. But hey, lets focus on his so called "deficiencies".

Assuming Rotation, pressure, pick and roll defense are his weak points... not easily taught to a 20 year old?

Burke oozes hustle and athleticism.
