It does seem Schmitz values positional size and positional flexibility. All these scouts talk about Burries being a primary ball handler in HS and chose Arizona to win. Go watch his HS championship game. He’s ridiculous. Just phenomenal around the rim and in transition, floater, euro step, range, change speeds while staying in control. Burries doesn’t quite have the wingspan of Dylan Harper (and he’s actually a few months older), but that’s a good comp for height & weight (0.75 in shorter, 2 lbs heavier). Jamal Murray is a great comp. Murray was not a PG at Kentucky, but he’s a pretty dang good one now. If Burries turns into Jamal Murray with better defense….thats really tough to pass up. I do like Flemings. I just watched some more highlights, so I wouldn’t hate it, but a Flemings-Kyrie backcourt would be a serious size issue. He’s not really anything other than a point guard, and his FG% around the rim is alarming not to mention attempting 5 floaters his entire college season. So, I would draft Burries 10/10 times if given the choice between the 2.
