  • Utah Jazz Draft Ex-CU Buff Alec Burks
    Page 1 of 2 Utah Jazz draft Ex-CU Buff Alec Burks Guard taken 12th to end up a lottery pick By Ryan Thorburn Camera Sports Writer Boulder Daily Camera Posted:06/23/2011 06:57:18 PM MDT Alec Burks doesn't need 140 characters to describe the journey. Wheels up. ... Milwaukee. ... Tired. ... Sacramento. ... Airport life. ... Charlotte. ... Dummy tired. ... Phoenix. ... Thankful for another day. These are some of the simple messages the former Colorado guard sent via Twitter to keep his followers up to date with the journey from Colorado to the NBA. After finishing the spring semester at CU in May, Burks worked out for seven different teams. The Utah Jazz, the last team Burks auditioned for, selected the 6-foot-6 shooting guard with the No. 12 pick. Hoops dream realized. "It was exciting," Burks said during a teleconference from the the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. not long after shaking NBA commissioner David Stern's hand and posing for photos in a new three-piece suit and Jazz cap. "I'm glad they picked me." A lot of draftniks predicted Jimmer Fredette and the Jazz would make beautiful music together, but the BYU star was taken by Milwaukee at No. 10 -- the frequently forecasted landing spot for Burks -- and then traded to Sacramento. "I don't really believe in the mock drafts," Burks said. "They don't really know what's going to happen. I'm just glad to be in the lottery." Burks, who doesn't turn 20 until next month, agonized over the decision whether to remain in college or turn professional throughout a dazzling sophomore season in Boulder.

Global Situation Update: August 5, 2021 WHAT WE’RE WATCHING Today, another crackdown by Turkish authorities on suspected supporters of exiled Muhammed Fethullah Gülen, accused of orchestrating the 2016 coup attempt against President Erdoğan, continues. The latest mass arrest warrants and police operations target members of Turkey’s military as 33 of 51 names currently wanted for arrest are military cadets and officers with alleged links to Gülen. The purge of suspected Gülenists from Turkey’s government bureaucracy, military and civil society since 2016 includes over a half million people investigated by authorities. In the US, where Gülen lives in exile, prominent Turks like NBA player Enes Kanter continue to lobby Congress against support for Erdoğan.
