Trent Burns, the towering seven-footer sidelined much of his first two years, is quietly becoming a game-changer for Columbia. After limited minutes and a shaky start, he exploded against Vanderbilt with 18 minutes, 7 rebounds, and a +19 impact.

His size and agility disrupt opponents near the rim, but his shooting remains a glaring weakness—he’s made just one three-pointer all season. If he can develop that jumper, he could be a consistent rotation piece—and a real threat on both ends.
