Hopefully he’s better than he last couple of transfers we’ve had
To be fair, Bama was pretty stacked this year and apparently this kid was fighting off injuries. Could be a case of Charles Matthews who just didn’t get playing time at a stacked program or could be a case of Joey Baker who wasn’t getting playing time at a stacked program for a reason. 🤷♂️
3rd team in 3 years?
Juwan should’ve forced Jett to stay in school. Claimed he has no influence over him. Bosheet. Beat his ass until he comes to his sensesYou guys like multi year one and dones apparently.
Curbelo in the portal again lol
Lifted from the Detroit News
Since Burnett has already transferred once, he’d likely need to graduate or receive a waiver to play right away at Michigan. The Wolverines have lost one starting perimeter player, freshman wing Jett Howard, this offseason and could lose another if sophomore guard Kobe Bufkin also opts to leave for the NBA Draft.
“Definitely want to be able to play right away and contribute right away,” Burnett told The Next Round. “Part of that is becoming a grad transfer. I’ve collected enough credits — we’ll see how those credits transfer to the next place I go to. Kind of getting that done over the summer and going from there.”
Who doesn't want that 23% TO rate?
Why are you focusing on the negative? He did get his 3P% up to 29% this year.
Little early to be drinking and posting.
Him and the Red Panda would be a good combo.
Plan is for him to be a grad transfer with 3 years remaining. I’m sure admissions will fvck it up.
Alabama to Michigan has to be a cultural shock academically. Do you have ag journalism there?
Didn’t he have some knee injury last year and ‘sat’ out. I could see a waiver being approved, still doubt transfers are enforced to require players to sit out a year.
I know he knows the Howard’s pretty well from Jett being at IMG. Not my first choice but I’d definitely take him.
Don’t think so… Seems like wishful thinking from Gtown fans, but who knows anymore?
He has potential....Just never blossomed at IU----and the offense was built for a kid like him. Just never clicked. His shooting was yikes---I know---37%. BUT...
In four games he was 17-27: 62%
In the other 31---20-27: 27%
BUt who knows---SOmetimes a fresh start is what a kid needs. Although I was surprised to hear Michigan. Seems he's made it known he wants to be closer to his daughter. I would guess Mizzou, Creighton...He's from Kansas City.
Expected obviously---But he's not NBA ready. As one home board guy said---"If its about getting $$,and being inthe NBA, then sure....But if it about STAYING in the NBA----Nope."
Lottery pick $$ is good---no doubt. But as we all know, its that second contract thats important.
I have seen him anywhere from 13th-30th. Questions about his perimeter game(3 ball), finishing at the rim, and shot selection. He only shot like 44% from 2----and when you're an attacking guard,who's primary go to is a mid-rnge game? Yeah, 44% is not very good. But at 6'6", 220---he's an attactive player. But just not sure he's athletic enough, can finish at the rim good enough,to be an impact guy...I wouldn't be surprised at all if he fell on Draft night.
Don't get me wrong, very good player---and probably the best frosh in the league. Just not sold he's ready for the NBA. Handles at times were soft.
I don't know. I'm sure Johnny Davis is fine w/ his $20M. Second contract be damned. I don't know where he's projected, but if it's lottery, you go. Stupid not too.
