Both of them are Seniors...
Oh, okay. Their stats don't show from previous years.

He has had a phenomenal season. His 3pt form is money, his mid range is money and he can defend. He isn't very tall for a SG but he is big and physical.
He might have trouble finishing over length and he projects imo to be a Marcus Smart type of player but you gotta look at him.
He goes to the line a lot though and he shot a bad percentage in all his previous 3 seasons.
He's gonna struggle mightily to get his own shot off in the NBA . His catch and shoot has definitely improved this year, but I'm not a big fan of this dude because I'm not seeing high level 3 and D type of guy. He's kind of a combo guard who might be able to hit open threes but I'm not sold on his defense at an NBA level.
Deonte Burton is an interesting guy...undersized at a generous 6'6", but he's a solid 250lbs, and is extremely skilled. Nice outside shot, good handle, plus athleticism. He reminds me a lot of Julius Randle (slightly less explosive than Randle, but better outside shot and total offensive game).
I doubt Burton gets drafted, but he could be instant offense off the bench in the right situation.
It's a shame we don't have a pick in this draft, because I would take Jordan Bell from Oregon in a heartbeat.
he is a better TT, he is a mixture of Draymond Green without the passing(yet) and TT tbh. his defensive versatlity is absurd. He only has 6'11 wingspan but he gets the most out of it.I absolutely love him and this draft is just too deep.
His timing on the blocks is superb, he can defend 1-5 and is motor is endless.
If he develops a shot.. watch out.
Stop. What makes Draymond who he is is the fact he can play point forward. He's really nothing like Draymond. He also averaged 2.2 blocks at Oregon in three years. When TT played his only year at Texas he averaged 2.4, so assuming it will translate isn't the best idea.
If he makes it in the NBA, he'll be an energy big at best.
Making prospect declarations based on the tourney is an incredibly risky thing to do.
(And he's not better than TT, nor is it likely he ever will be)
