Mike Burwell — G, 6-5, 200
Senior, 23 years old (via South Florida)
Season (30 mpg): 10.4 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 2.5 AST
41% FG, 34% three-point, 14 PER
Game: 15 pts, 4 rbs, 2 ast
4-10 FG, 2-4 three-point, 5-7 FT
Outlook: Burwell, who has good size for a guard (6-5), is Towson’s primary play-starter in the half court. He’s a below average shooter, converting 35% of his jump shots and 33% of his 3′s, yet the majority of his attempts are jumpers. That’s because he lacks the strength and athleticism to compete around the basket. He can’t finish in transition (35%; .73 PPP), and struggles to attack off the dribble.
Simply put, he’s an inconsistent shooter, and he’s incapable inside the 3-point line. Good size, but only 40% FG and 50% TS, along with no skill from 2-point range.
