Max Burries
Pts 9 16
Rbs 3.5 4.9
Ast 1.5 2.4
Tov 1.5 1.5
Stl .5 1.5
Blk .5 .5
3PA 3.5 4.6
3P% 32% 39%
TS% 49% 62%
OBPM .8 6.0
DBPM 1.1 5.7
BPM 1.9 11.7
This was each players only year in college. Do you see the difference? Its glaring. Clearly Max developed and became a better player than he was in college. Honestly if you just look at his freshman season you wonder why any team drafted him (it was the second round) and why he didn't stay another year in college. There is expectation that Burries will show a lot of improvement as well, but he is starting from a much higher place than Max did. The scouts are not looking at Burries stat sheet when they say he could develop into a lead guard eventually. There is room to grow.
Max was also 18 years old his freshman year. 2 years younger than Burries. I don’t really get this comparison between the two though. Max has developed into a really good off-ball guard at the highest level. Burries is a prospect that shows more than he did coming out of college, but who cares? Nobody knows what these guys will become when it’s all said and done.
