Das Boot: Brandon Burmeister Player Profile

As the Husky most likely to be confused with a 90210 extra, Brandon Burmeister took on a slightly larger role last year than he had in previous years, when his job was to feed the beast that is Zane Potter in garbage time. He got a career high of 7.1 minutes a game, including long stretches of play against Wazzou and USC (17 minutes in each). His shooting percentages dropped last year, and often times he looked nervous on the court when he was not playing garbage time minutes. In order to boost his confidence I suggest he begins to talk about himself in the third person. There is no Brandon, only The Burmeister. Recent The Burmeister news is that his foot was in a protective boot. Not good. The Burmeister also has the distinction of being one of 4 or 5 guys on the team old enough to drink legally. So there you go.

Best Moment: Coming up big against USC, hitting a couple threes and making quite a few hustle plays.

Outlook
On many college teams, a senior like The Burmeister would be able to leverage his large amount of practice experience into a solid 10 to 12 minutes off the bench. He can provide the typical skinny, short, white guy skills of three point shooting, hustle and an overall lack of atheleticism that make guys like him a fan favorite. Unfortunately for The Burmeister, he is playing behind a 6'2", 150lb albino with a dead eye shot and freaky hair. He simply cannot compete. Even though he is a senior, I think he will have a hard time seeing the court, as the end of the husky bench now contains top 100 talent. BOLD PREDICTION: The Burmeister will SAVE us in one game this year, on the road, by hitting a couple of huge threes and getting a key steal. You heard it here first.
