SALT LAKE CITY – It all felt like one day to Deonte Burton. From when his agent called him a couple days earlier to tell him talks had picked up, to his first game on a standard NBA contract Monday, a series of career-shifting events all ran together.
“It happened so fast, I don’t even know exactly how it happened,” Burton told The Oklahoman.
Burton’s stint as a two-way player ended Sunday, when the Thunder signed him to an NBA contract. It was the last move of a two-year post-college journey to the NBA that took him from Iowa State to South Korea to Oklahoma City.
