Its crazy man....I forget Monta was even here. I loved watching him play. Damn what i'd do for a Monta signing...you could argue that's one of the best signings we've ever landed when you factor in salary and skill. Hell maybe even one of the best players we've signed via free agency.
Burke isn't him for sure but I think he could have a similar impact. Maybe not 18 but something around 13 or 14 a game. Or maybe he's just a inconsistent guy that belongs on the bench. I mean I definitely see the Baby Iverson comparisons.....while being respectful to AI of course. You can tell he modeled his game after him. Probably a closer comparison than Monta.
