My big concern is that while he has all the tools, he didn't appear to me to have the focus and energy that I would expect from a top draft pick. It looked like he lights up when he has the ball, then is a non-player the rest of the time. Too many turnovers. Maybe it was just that game (or what I saw of it), as an exception, but based on that, I would definitely hesitate to spend a top-10 pick on him.I read more about Burries who was a top recruit. He started the year slow but has been playing better. One of the knocks about him is he is an old freshman. Already 20 and will be 21 by the start of next season.
I wasn't looking for Burries, but I heard his name a lot and he was doing some good stuff.
