Burke will or has been traded to Utah.

Thanks. I'm glad I asked, but maybe I'll go to that game anyway.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Not sure if I remember an odder NBA draft, top 10 was all out of wack, many Europeans were drafted higher then I thought, a ton of trades, a few picks were sold, and tomorrow more will probably be traded. It was a little lower then I thought, but after the first 15 selections I was worried he was going to fall a little bit, I like the Bucks, I feel they are a team where he can contribute, John Hensen had a nice tweet about Nate.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Especially with Jennings hitting free agency and Ellis opting out today. FEAR the DEER

Boom!

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Philly news was defiNately interested in Nate. They did a nice analysis with some cool video clips of his game - but we already knew there were plenty of cool clips of him with the ball. I guess they will only get to know him as a visting player.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Jennings is a restricted free agent

If I'm correct, I believe that means Milwaukee has the "first right of refusal" if you will. They have the option to match any tender that Brandon signs. I don't see how they don't re-sign Jennings as he is a legitimate talent.

That probably puts Nate coming off the bench, assuming he performs well in summer leagues and camp. I saw Milwaukee is touting him as their next "combo" guard.......does that mean they have plans for him to step in and play SG?

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Congradulations to Nate. I am going to let Nate be Nate and follow the arrows. Only one other SDSU player drafted, 1981, King Ling I presume. Also, TV's "where are they now" article on Tom Black was a refresher and very interesting. I did not know he had walked on with the Seattle Sonics.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Its one of the teams I've considered.

I've considered- Jazz, Indiana, Knicks, Nuggets, San Antonio, OKC, Suns, Cavs, Houston, Sixers, Kings, Detroit, Washington and Blazzers. (also the Warriors and Lakers, but they don't match up with a draft pick as of right now).

So he probably won't get picked by the teams I've picked, or any of the teams I've considered. Its a crap shoot and I don't know anything.

Best of luck

When I first read your post, I thought it was funny how you were covering all of your bases by naming 16 possible teams that you expected to pick Nate. What I didn't expect was that by the time all of the trading was done, that numerous teams listed in your post were involved with Nate.

I am pleased with Nate going to the Bucks. Having a former NBA point guard as a coach will be good. However, I fully expect them to pick up a couple of guards in free agency. One could be current point guard Jennings. He could learn from him this year and transition into the NBA in that situation. Nate would also be a nice change of pace from the quick Jennings. What could be tough is if the Bucks aquire another young free agent guard who has experience starting.

Guessing "combo" guard means a point guard who scores.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

I can't imagine a better place for Nate to end up. Milwaukee, is midwest, not too big, openings in the backcourt, easy for family to travel to watch him play. One has to believe the Bucks really liked him and he should see decent playing time this year. It is going to be a difficult season for the Bucks as I see it now but he can grow into his role there.

Wolters will be wearing #10 for the Bucks

Read an article written yesterday that said Milwaukee will listen to any trade offers for Jennings. Of course that could change with how the draft fell.

Just wanted to say it isn't a lock Jennings will be in Milwaukee next year. He probably will, but it's not set in stone.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Just came across this from bleacher report with a thorough break down of Nate's abilities. We are fairly familiar with these, but still interesting to read such an analysis.
