Player Profiles

21 Orlando Burras Class: Junior Hometown: Chicago, IL Junior College: Highland J.C. Height: 6'5 Position: Guard/Forward Experience:  2 Yrs.

Pfeifer on Burris: “Orlando is a very versatile player. He is long, quick and a very explosive jumper. He can and will play multiple spots on the floor for us this year. He is a very capable 3-point shooter, can score off the bounce and is crafty next to the basket. To start Orlando is getting rep’s at different positions that in the short term is difficult to master, however over the long haul should be difficult for opponents to match to. No one in our organization will be surprised to see him have big nights for us, the real bottom line is consistency, there is no question once he obtains that he will have the ability to impact our program this year.”
