Deonte Burton can score. He was among the best in college basketball from a points per-minute standpoint. Burton averaged 15.1 points, and 6.2 rebounds per game in 29.5 minutes per contest. He shot 40.5% 3-pt. fg for his four-year career split between Marquette and Iowa State. He hit 66% FT (career). His game is unique. He can score inside or outside and did so as a 6'5" power forward. ...Burton's standing reach is 8'6" (that is a half-inch shorter than Carl Landry.) Despite being under-sized, Burton's DEFRTG was significantly better than the Iowa State team DEFRTG. ...Burton's NO-step vert. was measured at 29.5" at the Portsmouth Invitational (same as measurement as Kevin Love.) ...Burton weighed in at 266 lbs. at Portsmouth. That is too heavy. He is a long-shot to make the NBA but his scoring ability may give him a chance.

Decent Advice: In 2016, the 59th pick in the NBA Draft was Isaiah Cousins. We advised, "Draft Gary Payton II."
