Versatile Tennessee guard flashing playmaking touch before leaving for Israel
Burg gave Tennessee a compact, useful 6'3" guard presence in the 2025-26 season, producing 33 points, 19 assists, and just 8 turnovers in 8 games, which points to a steady, low-mistake connector more than a volume scorer. His value is in feel, ball movement, and efficiency rather than big-box scoring, and he also brought international maturity from Israel. Tennessee will now lose him, though, because he announced he is returning to Israel to be closer to family, so he is no longer an active fit for the Vols.[1][2]
