After an incredible postseason run with N.C. State that quickly turned him into one of the most likable players in the NCAA tournament, DJ Burns has spent the last few months getting ready for the NBA Draft.
That, as it turns out, involved a wild weight loss journey.
Burns has shed 45 pounds since the Wolfpack’s loss to Purdue in the Final Four in April. Burns was listed at 6-foot-9 and 275 pounds during the season, and he’s still going strong.
“Getting it done and not done. Still more to go,” he told CBS Sports' Matt Norlander.
