Lutz on Burks:
“Jordan gives us another experienced, versatile piece with size, athleticism and scoring ability. He can play multiple spots, stretch the floor and make shots in big moments. You can see the growth in his game from year to year, and we’re excited about the way he fits with how we want to play.”
