A little late to the party regarding Burke and apologize if this story has been linked but to me it sounds like Trey might be being pushed in the wrong direction by his family but don't know that for a fact.

Michigan freshman point guard and Northland grad Trey Burke is inquiring about his NBA draft status.

The Big Ten?s co-Freshman of the Year and Michigan?s leading scorer and assist man is seriously considering leaving, his father, Benji, told the Detroit Free Press yesterday.

?I think that, for the most part, when you have a season as a freshman like he did, the NBA, they like them young. They think their ceiling is higher when they?re young,? Benji Burke said. ? Trey had some good games and a solid season for a freshman. It?s going to be one of the weaker point-guard drafts in years. I can?t say he?s coming back, can?t saying he?s leaving. If I had my way, he?d be coming back.?

The deadline to declare for the draft is April 29, but the deadline to pull out of the draft and return to school is April 10.

Burke is 5 feet 11. Benji Burke said he expects the family to make a decision in ?one to two weeks.?

Though few NBA draft analysts have projected Burke as a first-round pick, his family is getting different information.

?From some of the information that?s been gathered ? 90 percent of what we?ve gathered is he should be a first-round pick,? Benji said. ?He should be late first, early second, and we would love for him to know he?s in the first. But why go if you?re not going to be guaranteed? Get another year of your education. We?re really shocked about all this and trying to find out information.?

Well, there's a couple interesting points here, Re: Burke. Yes, he is tiny, but, this does look to be a weak year for PGs in the draft. So, some team may very well take a flier on him late in the 1st round to groom as a backup PG. Because of his size, like tsteele pointed out, his stock likely won't get much higher. So, he could come back, but he's risking injury, and doesn't really have much to gain in doing so. He's a very good college PG, but his physical limitations kind of cap his draft value pretty much where it is now. If he gets a late 1st round grade, it's probably in his best interest to go ahead now and make some money while he can.
