"No point guard. No trades. No problem.

After months of rumors and projections and speculation over what the Jazz might do with their second lottery pick, Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor walked to the podium at EnergySolutions Arena and announced that former Colorado standout Alec Burks would be coming to Salt Lake City.

And though the people's choice — former BYU star Jimmer Fredette — would already be taken with the No. 10 pick, the Jazz organization and fans seemed content to welcome the athletic two-guard at No. 12.

"We like his versatility," O'Connor said. "I think the key was that we were very comfortable with him. We had a lot of offers to trade and do that kind of stuff. But I think we are very comfortable with him at 12."

Burks was a unanimous Big 12 Conference First Team honoree after averaging 20.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game for the Buffaloes last season. His game is tailored, he says, after Brandon Roy — a player with deceptive quickness and a slick mid-range game."
