Paris Burns is UIC’s steady combo guard who can light it up in bursts
In the 2015 season, Paris Burns gave UIC a reliable scoring punch, ranking second on the team at 10.4 points per game and adding 2.4 assists per game, with a season free-throw rate of .775 that showed real late-game poise[1][13]. He also flashed a hot hand in stretches, including a 26-point game against Loyola and multiple double-figure outbursts, so he’s the kind of guard who can change a game when his rhythm is on[1]. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a competitive, Chicago-tough creator who can score, distribute, and survive pressure, Burns brings value beyond the box score[1][14].
