Physically, Burton reminds me so much of Barkley. Watched some highlights of Sir Charles' 1983 year at Auburn, and nobody on the floor could handle his size/strength/skill. Plus he just seemed to understand better than everybody else the right plays to make at the right times.
Now please, don't get too bent out of shape. I'm not suggesting that Burton is going to be an NBA Hall of Famer out there this year. But I don't remember watching many players who are so similarly built. If Burton can bring a comparable level of grit and physical play, he will complement the shooters three (Naz, Matt, and D.Jackson) nicely.
