Arizona Wildcats
The Wildcats have a pair of ball-handlers on the roster in Jaden Bradley and Kylan Boswell, joined by the return of Pelle Larsson. But outside of incoming freshman KJ Lewis, there’s no other depth on the roster for the program. Larsson is the only capable wing so there’s definitely a need for a wing.
Burton would be a nice addition as a very capable starter and can help replace the lost production of All-American forward, Azuolas Tubelis. Arizona did land San Diego State transfer Keshad to play at the four-spot but he’s more of a defender than a pure scorer. They need an offensive boost in the lineup and Burton could give them that.
Kentucky Wildcats
The program is waiting on a couple of decisions, including 6’6 wing and SEC 6th Man of the Year, Antonio Reeves, and freshman forward, Chris Livingston. Odds are good that at least one of them will remain in the NBA Draft, leaving five-star prospect wing Justin Edwards on the roster.
There’s an absolute need for Kentucky to have a veteran on a projected roster filled with underclassmen. Having someone like Burton that’s capable of taking the game over will take a ton of pressure off the young guards from having to do everything. And from a collective talent perspective, it would be a huge jump for Burton when it comes to the supporting cast.
