The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted Michigan guard Trey Burke with the ninth overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft and immediately dealt him to the Utah Jazz.
If only the Jazz knew they were getting a product unprepared for the professional and financial rigors of the NBA.
From mlive.com:
Burke, now a 23-year-old member of the Washington Wizards, was a Knight Commission panel member on Monday for a discussion on the state and future of NCAA Division I basketball. As a former college star, Burke was there to offer the perspective of the student-athlete. He was joined by Shane Battier, Old Dominion coach Jeff Jones and Atlantic 10 commissioner Bernadette McGlade.

While Burke said in his opening statement that he returned to Michigan for his sophomore year due to "good guidance from coach (John) Beilein and my parents," he later added that he didn't feel he "was equipped enough going into the process" when he entered the draft one year later.

Burke explained that he was accustomed to his mother's cooking and did not like the food provided at U-M. He called it "disgusting" and "jail food." Because Burke wasn't using his allotted funds for university dining, Beilein "got on" him for not eating.
Sounds like Burke is simply keeping it 100 to me.
