veteran Notre Dame forward with efficient, low-usage value
In the 2015-16 season, Austin Burgett was a senior forward for Notre Dame who offered efficient spot minutes, not flashy volume: ESPN lists him at 1.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game, while Sports Reference shows he shot 57.9% from the field in limited action[1][5]. The appeal is his size and steady role-player profile at 6-foot-9, plus the fact that he was viewed as a highly regarded recruit coming out of Avon, Indiana[3][7]. He looks like a fit for a team needing experience, toughness and low-maintenance frontcourt depth rather than a high-usage scorer[1][7].
