Deonte Burton will make his much anticipated Cyclone debut on Saturday as Iowa State takes on UNI in the Hy-Vee Big 4 Classic at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. The 6'4" junior and former top-50 prospect will add immediate depth to a thin Cyclone rotation, and with Naz Mitrou-Long done for the season, Burton's arrival couldn't come at a better time.
Burton is perhaps best known for his freakish athleticism and array of dunks while rocking Timberlands, but as it turns out, he's an actual basketball player and more than a running YouTube highlight reel. It's tough to know what we can really expect from Burton, but unlike Jameel McKay a year ago, this is a mid-season addition that has at least seen Division-1 action.
