DJ Burns Lost 50 POUNDS But Will he be Drafted…

DJ Burns Lost 50 POUNDS But Will he be Drafted…

so maybe the player that was the story of the NCAA tournament was DJ Burns this is a guy that everybody and I mean everybody was talking about for the entire NCAA tournament run and he’s a guy that everybody thought was going to go to the NFL turns out no he’s still looking to make an NBA roster and to be honest he’s have to losing a lot of weight before we get on if you guys are new to the channel subscribe we are less than 500 subscribers away from getting 5K we somehow hit that by the end of the weekend that would be absolutely insane but anyway now let’s get on to the video so DJ Burns has lost 45 pounds according to him without OIC which is kind of wild that players have to uh to say that because you’re like well you are an elite athlete you are a lot more than 45 lbs overweight a good personal trainer a good workout like a good workout routine and a diet yeah losing that in it’s 45b 20 kilos losing that in 2 months it’s doable it’s definitely definitely doable but what does his NBA future look like so a lot of people were talking about him but potentially going to the NFL obviously because he can move extremely well at the size he was like the guy was a very large man he was like near 300b and I think 300b might have been a low estimate to be honest for what he was and if you looked at the way he was coming into college it wasn’t like he was skinny coming into college but he wasn’t that big went to winrop was good at winrop honestly Rudy goes a freshman um was good for a couple of years like I’m pretty sure he was only he was a year below Zion and was ranked kind of similarly to to a Zion Williamson so not ranked similarly to his Zion ranked in like the same state because I saw I think I saw something was like he was the third ranked player in the state or something behind Zion obviously not ranked similarly to Zion geez no one was ranked similarly to Zion I don’t know why I said that for but um he obviously came in was pretty good as a freshman played his five years of college and really shot up through the NCAA tournament where I think it was Duke just could not guard him they couldn’t guard him he was very big and if you look at the NBA you might be saying okay yeah KET Lofton Jr he’s a bucket but like one he’s lost a ton of weight two even with the ton of away he’s lost he’s not getting much of a lock in and people was talking about DJ Burns going to the NFL and I I think look being 69 being the way he was at and being able to move the way he could I don’t think it’s against like it’s out of round possibility that he could have became an NFL player what I do think is that it’s probably okay I hate saying this but it’s probably completely out of round possibility that he is an NBA player sorry let me tilt that but um yeah I don’t see I don’t see any scenario that he makes the league and I don’t see any scenario where he gets much of a luck in however people are saying oh maybe you should take a risk with him a second round pick because of how bad this draft is it’s like oh if Bron’s a second round pick he’s like he’s 24 years he’s 24 years old by the time the season starts like this guy is older than tyres Maxi so it’s not like he’s this Ultra young player he’s like four years older than bronny James so okay cool he had a good college run he’s not going to be able to do anything at the NBA level and but what I do think there’s no chance he gets drafted what I do think is he’s probably him losing the weight might mean that a team just takes a chance on him in summer league like we’ve seen some bad player like some not very good basketball players over the years playing the NBA Summer League that they’ve just been given a chance and look it’s going to be the last real time they get in close to the NBA they might go g-league there might be some guys going into the g-league but in general yeah I can’t really see a scenario where like it’s a super he’s a super high draft pick or a draft pick at all and I can’t see a scenario where he makes it read from Summer League I can see a scenario where he does well in summer league like if we can’t forget KET Lofton Jr played bully ball on Chad after Chad’s first Summer League game people thought he was like the next Durk he was looked ridiculously good and then kenet Lofton Jr bullied the man he absolutely bullied Chad hren for for the rest of summer league and I think DJ Burns might do that he’s just physically big he is a large large man and he can play like he was a good basketball player in high school he’s been a really good basketball player in college he just had a really bad like he just had a big time weight problem and that’s the thing where it’s like even if you can lose the weight what’s to say you don’t put it back on again and that is always like look that’s always a risk when it comes to NBA players like even if you look at Caleb someone like Caleb swanigan rest in peace obviously there were other stuff going on but like he was someone who was extremely heavy as a kid lost a whole bunch of weight got into the NBA and we all we obviously saw before he ended up passing what happened with um with him just kind of blowing up because to get to the size DJ Burns got a lot especially while playing pro sports there has to be some something else there has to be a reason he got that big and regardless of losing the weight I don’t think teams are going to take the risk on pot a player potentially ballooning up like that again like Boris Dio almost ate his way out of League like bis Di literally had Clauses in his contract where if he would get bonuses if he showed up under a certain weight in preseason and he never did he never did and bar Dia was not half the size of DJ Burns it is hard I it’s genuinely genuinely hard if you’ve let yourself get to way above 300 lb to main to get to the probably 250 that he needs to be to play in the NBA we not even to play in the NBA to survive in the NBA to survive at all and maintain that especially in off Seasons it’s hard it’s hard and honestly I do think that if DJ Burns ends up playing is playing in shape staying in shape he’ll kill it somewhere I don’t think that’s going to be the NBA I think with the way he plays his ability I think he will absolutely kill it somewhere but sometimes the NBA is just a step too far like we’ve seen again the best example I can give somebody that is like on the heavier side but is a bucket as kennet Lofton Jr and M looks like the best player in the world when he plays in the g- league he had 40 points in a game in his rookie year like he’s killing it in summer league kenet loft there are leagues overseas that kenet Lofton junor could go to and outperform NBA players it’s just he’s maybe not quite at the level of an of the NBA especially because of the defense because of the way the game’s played and the way he kind of relies on his play style and for a lot of people it’s NBA or bust and I do think DJ Burns if he does have the attitude of NBA or bus that could be the worst thing for his career because there are some players that legitimately could become Legends overseas and if you don’t have the NBA robust attitude you can become a legend and make so much money if you’re good enough and I think there are a lot of guys that their NBA Crews fizzle out really young and they end up retiring really young that if they didn’t have the NBA or bus mentality they could have had a long career somewhere else and become a legend became a legend overseas um but at the end of the day look it’s very easy for me to say that as some somebody from Ireland who’s been watching European basketball saying like I remember when Kell Walker went to Monaco being like why are people saying that it’s sad he gets to make millions of dollars live in Paradise with no tax and gu to play in a really good league and he Kem Walker sucked at Monaco he still made a lot of money people were like oh it’s sad he’s got the league I’m like he would have been a vet minimum player in the NBA made six times more money in Monaco and got to live in Monaco but look it’s it’s easy to say as someone from Europe that there are some places in Europe that are better to live in that would better live in some place in the states and some people don’t want to leave home and that’s fine but when it comes to DJ burns like he has lost away I hope he keeps it off I hope he gives summer league a run and I hope I’m going to say if he doesn’t make the league when he doesn’t make the league that hopefully after a year or two of him thinking NB it’s NBA bust um hopefully he ends up coming overseas because he’s the type of player that could absolutely dominate he could be a complete baller overseas but I just think the NBA is that step too far especially with the way the league is gone
