Yep. I was a guy that thought Burke was way overrated. I thought he was a scoring PG but wasn't sure he was really going to be good enough at that to be successful as a starter in the league.

Now the deal I like for both teams. Utah moves on from a guy they didn't need and gets something in a 2021 2nd rounder and doesn't have to pay him. Wizards don't give up much for a young experienced backup PG who showed some signs of improving his efficiency last year.

Monster--Yep. I was a guy that thought Burke was way overrated

I'm thinking we may have the same thing in Tyus

Disagree

Burke was a 21 year old undersized guy picked at #9 who was widely considered by various experts as a guy that dropped to that spot. He was expected to be a starter. Tyus was picked well outside of the lottery was still 18 and is also considered a pure PG. Tyus is expected to be a backup.
