TrentBurns

Trent Burns in a unique prospect, and that starts with his 7-2 size. Burns had good length and natural fluidity, able to move laterally and switch ends off the floor. Offensively, Burns has range that extends beyond the three-point arc. He has a consistent release and the confidence to knock down shots with his feet set, in pick and pop and/or trail situations. Burns is going to have to add weight. As he continues to do so, he should continue getting more accustomed to the physicality and speed of the game. He has some interesting upside in the mid range, able to use his touch and length to shoot from multiple angles, over defenders. His footwork is developing and so is his post game. More should continue as he adds weight. Defensively, he is a natural rim protector around the rim, using his length and timing. He moves well for a player 7-2, there is real upside here on the defensive end. Again, it will only get better as he continues to add weight. It may take some time as he adjusts to the college game and gets familiar with the college weight and training program. While raw, the upside here is clear, with the range to spread the floor and the size to protect the rim.
