But in some ways Burks can be the better get. First off, he's 4 inches taller which could help with rebounds. Secondly, Burks is a better 3 point shooter. Tounde shot 29% from three while Burks hit at a 38% clip. If Burks ends up at UCLA he would be another possible double digit scorer on a roster with many already having that potential. This is true with Tounde as well, but also Tounde is more ball dominant so his presence on the floor with big minutes could mean less points for others. If the Bruins have 6 or 7 guys averaging or nearly averaging double digits they could be a tough team to defend and thus a tough team to beat. There's a lot to be said for having a main go-to guy, but there's also a lot to be said for having a team where the points can come from a variety of sources.
