Byron is a very strong and athletic CENTER and can dominant inside the paint when properly fed the ball. He also can run the floor great and can finish hard with both hands around the rim. Burnett is a tremendous rebounder and shot blocker with a wing span of 7”3. Byron is a strong leader on and off the court with a winning mentality. Byron will be a dominate force inside for any team and a great contributor to the front court leadership.
