Barrel chested. Big bodied. Quick turn. Quick hands. Hard to beat. Pure talent.

[@charlesshankle3178]

The best part about having burns even with all of his abilities is the ability to clog a lane by himself. It allows one more perimeter on both sides of the ball. I am a bit different than many other basketball fans, I will recruit players that are smaller with blazing speed and physicality.

[@tpstrat14]

here from jokic saying he loves him. I can see why. He plays a lot like him. Skilled post moves, tight handle, court vision

[@BrokeWristEntertainmentTV]

Jokic aint lie, that man pass da ball like a bullet!!

[@nigelwalker6684]

He has all the tools and skill set to be an exceptional force on the next level. Once he gets access to a strength, conditioning and nutritional coach, he’s going to be even more of a problem. He has an old school game that’s unstoppable and most modern kids playing have no idea to stop

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

Big, strong, quick, good skills. I love watching this guy. Especially his passing.

[@whydeysocheezy2k743]

Now he has lost 45 lbs. If that vertical goes up, he gonna be a problem.

[@draco2xx]

his right needs to be as dominant as his left and he'll be unstoppable in the paint🔥

[@irep340v.i._state_of_mind2]

Exactly

[@onlyunopooh]

Baby Shaq / Jokic with a jumper , I love it 👀🔥

[@Grievous_]

Warriors need to get him, he can be the Looney replacement, he’s a great passer, he’s got great post moves and can score whenever he needs to! Would be great in the Warriors system

[@Keiiluminati]

lol no

[@dedrickowens27]

Lakers

[@playoffdee]

That's a horrible fit. Warriors need more size not another playmaker. They need rebounding, interior defense and hard screens. Burns gives them none of that.

[@leafbrown648]

He'll just be Draymond with size, he needs a team he can get the ball down low maybe kick to a shooter every now and then, I think the pacers

[@tilyajo]

Bro what 😂😂😂

[@lemini4k]

Has the potential to be Zach Randolph 2.0

[@r0nth0mas12]

Thinking the same thing. Zbo

[@lemini4k]

@@r0nth0mas12 If he learns to handle the ball a lil better and not use the same two moves he's going to be a problem. That's something that can be taught with reps, the rest he has already.

[@ninjaoftherift1620]

Yes but needs a solid jumper Zbo had that jumpshot and he could create it off the iso and pick n pop.

[@LOLLO2002__]

Give me this as jokic's backup🔥

[@Ernie-ni2kh]

DJ Burns all in the dawn house

[@rickeytmusic]

We need him in Chicago

[@charlesshankle3178]

I love this. It's about the closest thing I have seen to an NFL offensive or defensive lineman playing basketball. Is big enough to clog the lane on his own, get rebound and, score. Nice part is, it allows you to have one more player on the perimeter or mid court. My type of team having someone like Burns is it allows you to put together a team with blazing speed. On defense the speed especially when closing in on an opponent allows a lot of freelancing, chance taking because it can allow chance taking. Physicality is a must. On offense, a simpler playbook is allowed because the other team will start getting worn down and not able to keep up with your team

[@honeyfro2615]

Zack Randolph? Zion? Al Jefferson? Shit Charles Barkley for a stint. Those are just some random names I thought of. Plenty of big bodied basketball players throughout the years. NBA has moved away from post scoring, don’t make him unique.

[@charlesshankle3178]

@@honeyfro2615 lemme clear up my statement of course the perimeter game is emphasized. But, being able to clear up one more defender and have a really fast team allows a more disruptive defense. One, that after big plays causes the opponent to hesitate

As a lefty, I should tell him he should stay one more year in the league.So we can develop a right dominant strong

HAM TIMEE

[@DaunteDesouza]

He would dead be great on the Grizzlies no cap

[@playoffdee]

we saw how that went with lofton already and they eventually waived him

[@DaunteDesouza]

Yea but he’s bigger and more polished plus he’s getting praise from the reigning fmvp. So it’s looking good for him

[@almomujki5499]

He is betrer than kenneth. He is bigger, way better passer, more dominant and has a way better post up game and shooting.

[@irep340v.i._state_of_mind2]

​@DaunteDesouza nowhere is he more polished than Lofton

[@jeanneandrade4875]

He is like Jokić

[@playoffdee]

passing and footwork wise yes. he's not a good rebounder to say the least but he's quicker than jokic i can say

[@jhonjhonson3242]

Jokic is a very good comp, post footwork and passing look very similar to a younger Jokic, although I would argue especially now Jokic is much quicker

[@Purplecity731]

He’s more like Zbo in my opinion

[@matheuscouri2225]

there is no guarding this lefty spin move

Miami ?

[@kronicclaps3579]

Thanks for giving okc a big 🤣

Man if this dude gets in the weight room and becomes a gym rat folks are in trouble. He reminds me of Oliver Miller with those passing skills, but he can be more with that spin move.

[@maxdaprodigy914]

His low post game reminds me of Zbo. Hes gonna be a good NBA player if he works more on his conditioning 💯.

Draft him and then hire Akeem to teach moves and it becomes a profitable investment

Id that zibos son?

[@playoffdee]

great footwork, i assume he isn't the best defender by any means. wouldn't know where he'd fit in today's NBA especially since he's 6'9 275. I guess the Nets could use him for development purposes. He'd fit nice with Cam Thomas.
