DJ Burns

Draft Notes

Burns was one of the most fun players to watch in college basketball this past year. He’s a burly, strong and nimble post player with an old school game.

He’s a very skilled low post scorer who dominates with his size and strength. He’s also got an infectious personality that lifts the spirits of his team.

He doesn’t project well to the NBA level due to his lack of speed but he could earn a spot on a summer league roster and perhaps work his way into the league.
