Burke was getting playing time earlier in the season because with Hill, Tmac, and Miller all playing a full or close to full strength, he was being left completely wide open and hitting open jumpshots.

But when Hill went down, the team could no longer just rely on completely outscoring people, so his minutes started going down. Once that happened, he lost confidence and was no longer hitting all those open jumpshots.. sometimes not even taking them. And if he isnt shooting those shots, he is worthless.

He more than likely wont be in the NBA next year.

I've heard a lot of favorable things abut Kasun. And I know Orlando was thinking about keeping him around this season. I would imagine he'll be with the team next season, but that is all speculative.

What? Roberts was never a better prospect than Shaq. Serious not in college or the pros. U guys traded him after 91-92 to make room for Shaq.

Roberts was a better prospect than Shaq, mainly in college. They had a special on Sportcenter a couple of weeks ago and I heard it directly from the horses mouth, the coach. He said that Stanley was the guy with all the potential, but was satisfied with being the players that he was. In other words, he wasted his talent. Shaq came in, and always wanted to improved. He wanted to be the best, and that's what eventually made him a better player than Roberts.

This is true, Roberts was a beast in college playing along side Chris Jackson, now known as Abdul-Rauf. Shaq came into his own once Roberts left LSU
