Burrows attended Indiana Univ-Purdue Univ.-Ft.Wayne until 2008 and it will be his tenth season as a professional player. He could be described:
Excellent athlete and shot blocker. Very long and active around the basket. Aggressive finisher who looks to dunk on every opportunity inside, but also has a very good touch around the basket along with excellent footwork and a variety of post-moves down low. A major match up problem for any team as he can take you outside or put ball on floor and take you to the whole with his quickness. Runs the floor the floor like a track star. Showed vast improvement in college and has the potential and desire to continue improving as a professional-very high ceiling on his potential as a player!.
