Does NCAA's top 3-point shooter (he's from Concord) have an NBA future? | Charlotte Observer

Concord’s Connor Burchfield was the best in college basketball last season at a skill valued at every level of the sport.

Whether Burchfield can check enough other boxes to get the NBA interested is much more of a question.

Burchfield shot 52 percent from the college 3-point line, which led all Division I players in the NCAA, last season for William & Mary. That was a sufficient hook that the Charlotte Hornets invited him to be one of six players at a pre-draft workout Friday.

It was the 6-4 Burchfield’s first NBA audition and so far, no other team has extended him an invitation.
