In a word, to answer that question in the headline: no.
There's talk that adding him could relieve pressure on Evans to run the offense, though. Really?
Let's dig in.
The stats say: no, f–k that, no way. Burks' assist rate at Colorado this season was 19.6 percent. Evans, who struggles as a point guard, was 30 percent at Memphis. So no, if Evans is not a point guard, Burks can't see the words "point guard" from where he's standing. Not a bit.
On that note, from DraftExpress' March 1 report on Burks, written by Jon Givony.
From James Ham's Cowbell Kingdom report on Burks' Saturday workout:
Ergo:
Alec Burks, point guard? No way.
Alec Burks, Sacramento King? Eh, OK!
