Ron,
You are one of the few who has actually watched practice and have some first person assessments about things.
What are you seeking from Burks? He is an interesting prospect. He was only a three star, but he had year getting developed at one of the blue-est of blue bloods. He has great size and athleticism. He appears to have been a big scorer in high school. Meanwhile, he had a recent interview in which he reported taking more pride in shutting down someone defensively than scoring.
I am sure he is adjusting to the new situation and the new teammates.
Are you seeing glimpses of that scoring ability? How about on the defensive side? Can he lock players down? Is he practicing as a big against Fielder and Sorber? How mismatched does he look? Does he appear part of the center of the team or is he hanging on on the margins?
Does the team look like it is going to expect big contributions from him? To what extent does he appear ready to make those contributions?
Thanks in advance.
