Experience matters. I've always liked DJ Burns because of his soft hands and deft feet. He's Moses Malone redux inside, although not quite as fierce a rebounder but a better passer.

I would run a secondary fast break with my bigs for scoring opportunities - just after the initial 3 on 2, or whatever the defense makes available. Burns doesn't transition well, and there is a 4 on 5 opportunity on every fast break that could be mined by a coach who has the bigs that can get up the floor in a hurry. But I have not seen a coach take advantage of Burns not running the floor well.
