Michigan basketball?s worst fear might be coming to fruition.
Freshman point guard 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 Free Press today.
?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 today. ?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.
"The second thing is he was considered high. He does have some juice right now. It didn?t end well, but he ended up having some great games. He?s got to be one of the top five freshman guards in the country. He got a hold of some information, and you at least need to inquire.
?I can?t say he?s coming back, can?t saying he?s leaving. If it 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.
If Burke left, it would be the third straight season U-M lost a backcourt star to early entry. Manny Harris left two years ago, and Darius Morris departed last season. Both are playing in the NBA. Harris went undrafted, and Morris was a second-round pick.
Benji Burke wants Trey to return because he?s a Michigan fan. But what does Trey think?
?Trey, he would love to come back, because he thinks they?re going to have a good team,? Benji said. ?In the same breath, how do I pass up the opportunity of a lifetime, and risk injury? There?s risk on both sides. Anytime there?s risk on both and the NBA is one side, I don?t know if I?ll ever be as hot as I am now. If I had to guess, Trey would love to go to the NBA. There?s a lot of uncertainties there, as far as getting drafted first round.
Those are the things we?re trying to weigh.?
Burke is listed at 5-feet-11.
More details to come ?
