• Rob Jeter on Burleigh Porte
"Burleigh is a true inside player who will bring a lot of energy and a real defensive presence. He runs the floor well for his size and has a nice ability to block and alter shots. He's also a good kid who really is excited about playing here in Milwaukee. He will be a tremendous addition for us."
