Top Prospect Profiles: Alec Burks

Alec Burks, SG Colorado So. (6-6, 195) Age: 19

Strengths: Really good slasher, penetrates easily. Natural scorer always in attack mode. Can finish explosively or craftily in the paint. Really good frame, prototypical 2 guard size. Draws a ton of fouls and converts at a high rate. Good rebounder for his size. Excels with the ball in his hands, good passer, can play a little point guard. Tools to be a lockdown defender.

Weaknesses: Three point shooting needs work, streaky at best. Needs to gain 10-15 pounds of muscle. Doesn't move well without the ball and doesn't always play with a high motor.

NBA Comparison: Corey Maggette, Bucks

Draft Projection: Lottery

Season Stats: 31.4 mpg, 20.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.3 bpg, 47%/82%/29% (FG/FT/3P)
