Memo to OKC Thunder Head Coach, Billy Donovan — Free Deonte Burton!
Yeah, yeah, I know this is a common refrain of yours truly, but it’s simple — every minute Burton is on the floor positive things happen. Whether he is trying to shift momentum via a timely bucket or hustling on defense Deonte Burton is the glue guy every team seeks for their roster.
Review any OKC Thunder game film and you’ll notice Burton always finds the seams and openings on the court. It’s not a coincidence every time he plays he is wide open at least once in the game.
