Dwight Keith Burns Jr., also known as DJ, just well may be ascending to icon status from the perspective of North Carolina State basketball fans. He has certainly captured the attention and adoration of a large segment of casual and ardent followers of college basketball. Contrasting No. 1 seed Houston, No. 2 seed Marquette and No. 4 Duke, which were all expected to be Final Four contenders entering the postseason tournament, NC State ended their regular season schedule losing four in a row. Their only hope to make it into the field of 68 was winning the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Resembling a nimble dancing bear, his superb footwork, soft hands, adept shooting touch from the foul line down and crafty passing skills has been impressively gripping. But the Rock Hill, South Carolina native is not an unknown quantity. Beginning his collegiate career at Tennessee in 2018, the 23-year-old senior transferred to mid-major Winthrop, located in his hometown and was named the 2020 Big South Freshman of the Year before earning the 2022 Big South Player of the Year accolade.
