Shot 29% from 3 last year on almost 6 per game. So that's not great.

He’s a good shooter. The kid can play. He’s my number 1 want ahead of spencer right now

Watched Cam Spencer a good bit this year - he is lacking in athleticism, so when his shot is not falling he can be a liability - my initial eye test was that this guy should not be a starting guard for a P5 team. He could fit well as a spot up 3 point guy, but I don't think you can run the Hawkins sets for him. A good piece no doubt, but I was comparatively more excited about Timberlake.

Not NBA so he's gotta be looking overseas or G League?

Yeah this is confusing and Zags seems to be the only one saying it. Rothstein and Trilly Donovan insinuating he’s in the portal with the expectation he’ll got to another school.

Watched a lot of RU this past year and agree with this. I feel like he’d be a good backup to AK and 6th man, but don’t really like the fit with the 2 of them together
 
I watched Burton a lot over the last few years (I live near Richmond). He's very athletic and rebounds at a high clip. Good driving game and gets to the line a lot. Solid defender, and good but not great shooter. A very high arching shot. He is the perfect role player on a good team (his senior laden team at UR made that run to the NCAA tournament and defeated Keegan Murray's Iowa team in 2022). He was asked to do more with high usage at UR this past season, and defenses were entirely focused on him--hence the somewhat lower 3 point percentage.

He definitely has the skills and ability to play a significant role on a Power Conference team (if not pro league next year).

Family connection to the northeast.

He can play a bit of the 2, but is primarily a 3 or even a small 4.

I'd love to add him or Jones. Not both.

David Jones situation. Pick whichever one

Kinda.

Similarities for sure. To keep it simple, both are exciting small forwards who can help a lot of ways. Jones is the better passer/vision guy while Burton is better at getting at the rim, but to be honest might call that a wash since Jones faces more talented Ds in the BE.

I’d be excited for either player, but Burton will have more interest since he doesn’t need a waiver.

He went to Marianapolis but grew up in Uxbridge.

I don't think he technically "grew up in" Uxbridge though.

For the NBA draft his age is a bad thing, But it's a very good for his college basketball prospects.

Dingle plus Soriano plus Pitino is probably pretty close to a tourney team right there. Jenkins helps with the continuity of the offense.

They need 1 wing to step up to make sure.
Expand ...
That's only three players, you need five,plus a few to come off the bench.

Also, I'm pretty sure Pitino used all of his eligibility in the early 1970's.
 
Burton’s father Quinton played for Rick Barnes at PC. He is a PC season ticket holder and was front row for Kim English’s hiring presser because of the Barnes connection. If he decides to stay in school, I would think the Friars have a good shot.

Huh? He's stupid for wanting to go make money and play professional basketball after 4 years of college?

Think he meant entering your name in the portal but saying don't contact me.
