Deonte Burton’s strengths shining for No. 25 Iowa State
AMES, Iowa — There are times when senior Deonte Burton can be the most spectacular and maddening player on the floor for No. 25 Iowa State — often in the same sequence.
Harnessing Burton’s strengths and minimizing his weaknesses will be a big challenge for both Burton and coach Steve Prohm this season.
Burton has been occasionally spectacular for Iowa State. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder is averaging 14.1 points, a team-high 7.6 rebounds and is shooting 47.4 percent from 3-point range.
