2026 NBA draft thread

I agree with your first sentence.  I don’t see the day where Burries replaces Christie in the starting lineup.  They would start him off the bench playing some next to Kyrie and some next to Christie.  He will need some time to hone his PG skills and having the dual role will help him.  Burries’s eventual spot in the starting lineup comes when Kyrie moves on…whenever that is.

I don't think Burries needs Kyrie to leave to move into the starting lineup.  He fits well with Kyrie.  He might not get there in year one, but if he is not better than Max by his second or third year than I would consider him a bust.
