Expert Analysis
Duvalier Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Burns is a player we’ve highlighted before, but he still feels like a prospect who hasn’t received nearly enough attention for what he’s capable of bringing to the floor. He has to change that with a solid season and there’s no better time than the present. As a sophomore, Burns averaged 5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2 assists per game as he showed an ability to affect the game on both ends of the floor. What we like about his game is his ability to break defenders down off the dribble, get into his preferred spots and force the defense to react. He has the skill to create opportunities for himself and teammates, but becoming a more reliable finisher around the rim and improving his perimeter shooting will be important next steps. We’d also like to see him show up in the big games and be a force on a nightly basis. He can be a difference-maker and we want to see him put it all tougher. He’s an X-factor in the conference to keep an eye on.
