SCOUTING: Head coach Byron Walker has been around long enough to know an outstanding prospect with potential like this impressive sophomore. Burns is one of the players who will certainly open some eyes this coming season - bringing size and athletic ability to a program that finished unbeaten last year. This is one of those young men who is still growing and gives the Mavericks plenty of options. He had a solid offseason - where he was starting to draw interest from opposing players and teams. This is one of those young men who has the potential to be a major find. Once you watch him play, you will understand how impressive he is. Great hands on offense - and the knack of making plays on the defensive side of the ball. His coaches are really impressed at how continues to pick up the game each and every day.
