I agree on the overreaction. I think defense is a state of mind/skill developed in the NBA. Most non 7 foot college guys are not good defenders. Guys get in the league and become defenders. Rodman, Ben Wallace, Hinrich, Noah, Conley, Hill, etc. Most of them don't come in as great defenders.
I think Burke will be solid. But I'm not going to dub him the next CP3 like most people love to do.

I am not ready to call Burke the next CP3; however, I think his defensive question marks are a little exaggerated. Think about the play Burke made on Siva in the NCAA Championship when they called the foul. He caught one of the most athletic PG's in college basketball (said today on combine coverage) and pinned his dunk attempt above the rim. Like some have stated earlier, I believe defense is a learned skill that requires intensity and focus to perform at a high level. Burke was Michigan's primary offensive weapon. His attention had to be on that end.
