The former Michigan point guard has yet to formally work out for any NBA teams yet, and as of now, he says he's only got one formal individual session scheduled -- with the Orlando Magic, who hold the No. 2 pick in the draft. Asked if he'll go through any type of workout in front of the Detroit Pistons -- who hold the No. 8 pick -- Burke said he's not sure. "I don't know yet, we haven't set anything up (with Detroit)," Burke said. "I may do three or four (workouts with teams), two or three, I don't know (yet). "Everything's not (totally) scheduled yet still." Booth Newspapers

A day after the NBA Draft order was set for the June 27 event with the lottery, Trey Burke is getting a feeling about his targeted area. “I’m hearing anywhere from two to six,” he said Wednesday on the “Huge Show” syndicated across Michigan, identifying the two teams – Orlando and New Orleans – needing a point guard. “That’s pretty much everything I’m hearing now. It’s really a toss up and up in the air. So I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next month or so.” Detroit Free Press

Trey Burke’s confidence has always been his greatest asset. “I’m going to try to be a franchise player,” Burke said Friday at the NBA predraft combine in Chicago. “A guy that’s going to come right in and make an impact right away. You’ve seen (Portland’s) Damian Lillard come in and win Rookie of the Year and people were saying he played in too small of a conference and things like that. They had their doubts about him. I’m going to try to come in, make an impact and hopefully in five or six years I’ll have a ring or two. That’s the goal." Detroit Free Press

Later Thursday, Burke is slated for at least six more interviews with pro squads. Does he have one with the Detroit Pistons? "No, I don't," Burke said Thursday. "I was actually surprised. But talking to my father (and agent, Benji Burke), he said some teams do that just to not let other teams know that they're interested (in a player). I don't know. I don't think they're going to bring me in for an interview." Booth Newspapers

Magic officials already have scouted the likes of Kentucky Wildcats center Nerlens Noel, Kansas Jayhawks shooting guard Ben McLemore and Michigan Wolverines point guard Trey Burke for months and months. Until now, however, the Magic and other NBA teams haven't been permitted to sit down and speak with any draft prospect. General manager Rob Hennigan and assistant general managers Scott Perry and Matt Lloyd will conduct the Magic's player interviews, which were expected to begin Wednesday night and likely will include Noel, McLemore and Burke. Each team may interview a maximum of 18 players, and each session may last a maximum of 30 minutes. Orlando Sentinel

Asked earlier this week on WWJ to give his thoughts on possibly playing for the Pistons next season, the former Wolverine said he'd be all in. "Absolutely (I would)," Trey Burke said. "A lot of people ask me where I want to play, I really don't care, it's just a blessing to be in the NBA. But I'd definitely want to play for the Detroit Pistons. I know Joe Dumars really well, the fan base is right there in Michigan." Booth Newspapers

Burke certainly will get a look as the potential No. 1 pick if the Magic draft there. The other team that seems to fit Burke are the Pelicans. Yes, Greivis Vasquez is coming off a breakout season, but Burke is a totally different player and could complement Vazquez coming off the bench early on. The Pelicans' other big need is at small forward. Shabazz Muhammad could get a look here. So could Croatia's Dario Saric. Sources say that the Pelicans are one of the two or three strongest suitors for Saric at the moment. ESPN.com
