Former 5⭐ and Texas Tech transfer.

Me likey! I would rather have him for multiple years than Myreon Jones for just 1 season.

 

[StablerCountry]

I hope so and think so myself.

Me too, unless he doesn’t shoot well and decides to transfer in the middle of the season

Wasn’t that. Just not a good fit and didn’t get playing time behind some really good guards

I wish we could get one of those really good guards!😀

How much of a threat is auburn to land Burnett?

I know we’ve been down this rabbit hole before, but one thought would be to put in work and try to earn PT. Anyway, hope we get him.

Expect multiple players transfer from TTU in the near future. Something is going on there

JD Davison seems to think he’s coming to bama. Shared this on his Instagram story.

If true are the coaches anticipating JQ leaving?

I, personally, do not think so. Burnett is not the ball handler JQ is. Different positional types imop.

combo guards are worth their weight in gold.

Why would JQ transfer?

I don’t disagree, but I would not view JQ and Burnett as similar skill sets when categorizing players.

 

[Zach_12]

think he meant going to the draft

very true--Oats is going to need to play J.D. Davidson and J.Q. at the same time for a lot of minutes. i am sure he will. also have Primo, ellis and Shack as off guards or wing players. we all think miles will develop into a good player.

 

[Jordan Harper]

JQ will not get drafted this year or next year so he would not leave for that. I think he will leave after next season because of age and to pursue something else in basketball

You think JQ has zero shot at the next level? I get he may not be a lottery pick right now but if continues to play at the level he’s currently playing you have to think he may have a shot

Harper, what is your reasoning for JQ having no chance to be drafted?

 

[Jordan Harper]

Size, lack of athleticism, his age (23 is considered the start of an NBA player’s prime). Now do I think he would be okay if he got a chance? Sure I like him a lot. However, unless you are elite in a specific area (Like Kira’s speed or Sharife Cooper’s vision and passing), then NBA teams likely won’t take a chance on someone of his size. I think he would be an excellent player overseas or even get a chance in the G League.

Trevor Releford would be the perfect example

i wonder where Retin O and Levi Randolph are now

 

[xcop]

I think Levi is in the G League. Has been up and down in the NBA .

 

[Sweetlou10]

Retin is overseas

 

[Jordan Harper]

There have been small players that have made it to the NBA and most have been mentioned before. Chris Paul is a good example of a modern player and he’s one of the best passers of all time, in college and pros. He used to be an elite level shooter as well. JQ isn’t close to Chris Paul’s level, but that’s the kind of player you have to be.

Dunno if I agree with lack of athleticism. Unless you would put handles under another category. Dont disagree with anything else. But no matter the size if you can get by one on one defense to create a shot for yourself or teammates NBA will want that. And hes proved he can do that specially late in the season. I think hes a top 15 pick after next year. If he can get that mid range jumper above 50%...like a Chris Paul as you mentioned...somebody will take him. Guy has finally got a full season under his belt and won the conference tourney MVP. He gets better and more mature and I think hes the 2nd most important player in this run, second to only Herb staying outta foul trouble and keeping the defense together.
