"He's like a sponge." Jordan Burks learning new role while playing out of position

Jordan Burks was used to having the ball in his hands at all times. During his senior high school season, the 6-foot-9 forward averaged over 27 points per game with Hillcrest Prep at Overtime Elite. He was the go-to scorer and had to be in order for the team to stay competitive. But several months into his freshman season at the University of Kentucky, his role has been flipped completely.

Once a wing who was always looking to score, Burks is now being forced to play out of position with the Wildcats out of necessity.
