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.
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.

You do know that Michigan had one of the worst defenses right?
Those things are not necessarily able to be just taught and it could and probably would take years to teach. GV still can't play angles or play PnR defense correctly or rotate and he has been under Monty for two years. Actually, he hasn't even improved.
Obviously you're a Burke fanboy. If he oozed athleticism, the knock on him wouldn't be quickness. Anyways, just like you regurgitate Oladipo comparable to Bruce Bowen when he is miles ahead offensively than Bowen ever was. Can't Oladipo just practice his off the dribble shooting and handling which he has already proven to be able to improve?
Both have glaring weaknesses like everyone else in the draft. You like someone, I like someone else. Obviously, neither one of us will waiver on that. Agree to disagree.
Either way, I highly doubt we will see Burke in a Pelicans uniform anyway.
Do I think Burke will be a good pro? Sure I do. Do I think he fits with the Pelicans? No not really. Perimeter defense was trash. Don't see how he improves that. I think he fits the Magic or Pistons best with Afflalo and Knight
