Wes Burtner was Belmont’s high-minute, high-output forward with polished scoring efficiency
In the 2001-02 season, Burtner averaged 17.7 points in 35.8 minutes per game, adding 4.3 rebounds and shooting 36.1% from three while hitting 83.0% at the line, which points to a forward who could stretch the floor and handle late-game pressure. [1][2] His biggest differentiator was volume and trust: Belmont leaned on him heavily, and his free-throw accuracy suggests a player who could close possessions cleanly. [1][2] If you want a wing/forward who brings proven scoring punch, spacing, and durability, Burtner fits that mold well. [1][2]
