Yeah ok... so Burto is not the sharpest tool in the shed. But I am pretty sure that when he was recruited, his understanding of the sciences wasn't the reason.
He did say, obviously, it's round, but it's also flat. I think he is naive and does not understand what it means to ask that question.
Regarding what players say and what that means about the preseason and how they will perform this year, I will wait until round 1. In every interview he has ever done, you always come out thinking, but what did he say? He will not inspire anyone with his words; it needs to be with his actions on the field.
