Pitt G Jamarius Burton Will Work Out for Milwaukee Bucks

PITTSBURGH -- He led the Pitt Panthers back to the summit. As the undisputed top dog on an extremely experienced roster, Jamarius Burton powered the program back to its first NCAA Tournament in seven years and helped them win games there for the first time in nine years.

Now, the former Pitt guard is looking to continue his basketball career at the professional level. This week, Burton will try out for the Milwaukee Bucks, per a report from Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

On deck for the #Bucks will be Pittsburgh's Jamarius Burton (6-4, 195). An all-ACC first-teamer last season, Burton hit the game-winner for Pitt v. Miss. St. in the first round of the NCAA tourney before upsetting Iowa St.
He averaged 15.2 points & 4.3 assists for Pitt.
