Strengths: A big time player in the Atlantic 10 Conference. He has a very good handle, a super-sweet 3 pt stroke and the ability to take guys off the dribble. He is also incredibly intense and hard working. Look for 2005-06 to be Burrell’s coming out party. He is head and shoulders above the talent level of previous Xavier draftees Sato and Chalmers. Right now he is playing the 2 spot, but his handle and passing skills are strong enough to handle the PG position.

Weaknesses: Not high on anyones radar screen as X didn’t make the NCAA tournament last year and plays in the witness protection program that is the Atlantic 10. Small for the off guard position and unproven as a PG… Must prove he can play the point, and may not have much of a chance to prove it this year, and especially next season with Drew Lavender coming in … Xavier is so desperate for scoring that Miller may be scared to move him to the 1 and have his production fall off.
