I was disappointed with Burke, I don't know if he has some sort of injury but he wasn't athletic at all, espec. for being such a high draft pick a few years ago.

 

Disclaimer: I have a bias.

 

But, I'm not sure what you saw, or what the circumstances were, but I would put Burke's athleticism up there with almost anyone on the Peoria team. From being an all-state linebacker to winning the dunk contest his senior year in high school, athleticism is one area he's not lacking.
