DJ Burns has been increasingly busy since NC State’s season concluded at the Final Four, dedicating daily hours to his workout routine and losing over 40 pounds in preparation for the NBA Draft. Just hearing about his regimen makes me exhausted.
Burns has been featured this week by both CBS Sports and Slam, so it’s no surprise he’s once again in the spotlight.
The effort he has put in over the past few months will certainly pay off in some way. He still has a chance to be selected in the draft, which ends with the second round tonight. Regardless, he will definitely get an opportunity with a team in the summer league, which could lead to an invitation to an NBA camp this fall.
Burns has positioned himself well to make a strong impression on a franchise, but even if that doesn’t pan out immediately, he’ll have numerous professional opportunities overseas.
It’s great to see him thriving after a challenging start to his last college season. His basketball future looks brighter than ever.
