OKC Thunder two-way player Deonte Burton’s basketball career reads like the script of the latest edition of NBA 2K.
His physique also screams of that of an NBA 2K created player, a 6’5’ 250 lbs guard/forward, with a game predicated on dunks, hustle, blocks, and irrational confidence.
A 4 star recruit out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranked 39 in the ESPN top 100 in the 2013 High School ratings, Burton played four years of college basketball. After two years at Marquette University, where he saw 40 games (three as a starter) and averaged 6.8 points per game, Burton transferred to Iowa State where he would go on to start in 42 games out of 61 and average 12.
