Max Burton is a high-efficiency, low-ego frontcourt piece for Western Michigan
In the 2024-25 season, Burton showed value as a reliable, efficient forward: 5.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in 24.7 minutes while shooting 47.9% from the field and earning All-Academic recognition[4][8]. His biggest differentiators are defensive activity and functional versatility for his size—he has generated steals and blocks, passed well enough to keep the offense moving, and rarely needs touches to impact the game[1][8]. He looks like a fit for teams that want a dependable rebounder, a willing role player, and a smart, steady locker-room presence[1][4].
