Trey Burke's stock just went up.....

is it because of a NCAA title or he thinks he can be the top pick next year when he is already projected to be top 5 pick right now... hmmm i wonder if that would improve or he would stay there for 2 more years :D

It is a curious decision. By all accounts even if he blows up next year he's still likely to fall down the draft board just based on what's likely to be available in that draft.

Right now his main competition is a SG who can't dribble and a raw big with a torn up knee.

I thought I heard his stock had fallen after the NCAA tournie out of the top 5? All speculation though as noone knows what scouts really think but could that have something to do with it?

Pretty sure I remember you comparing him to Willie Warren in another thread. For his sake, I really hope things down turn out similarly.
