2026 NBA draft thread

And I don't think you can make the argument that "if he was such a great lead guard why didn't he take over that role like some of these other guys did?".  Jaden Bradley was a senior, a very good college player, and not nearly as good off ball as he is on ball.  It was better for the team for Burries to play off ball.  I think somebody posted a stat a while ago with Burries numbers when Bradley was off the court, and they looked good.  I don't know if Burries will ever be a true point guard, but I do think he will be able to play more on ball (eventually) than he did in college.

Burries was not a lead guard in college. He also created very few shots for himself. So the questions are valid. 

If we are talking about HS then Ament was a stud. 

If the Mavs take Burries, I also hope he can be a lead guard. However no one knows right now. 

BTW my bar for a lead guard is pretty low. If he can be strong with the ball and defend his position, I am happy. He seems selfless enough that he will involve his teammates.
