A true sign of respect from an offensive standpoint is being allowed to operate through and earn one-on-one opportunities.
This holds true at every level of basketball, whether it be junior league, high school, college, or the pros.
While he is on a path to having a career season at Pitt, Jamarius Burton has gained the respect of opposing defenses in drawing their toughest interior defenders. But, as was the case on Saturday against Clemson and could remain true on Wednesday at No. 24 Duke, Burton is still going to take those opportunities in stride.
