Alec Burks

It feels like Alec Burks has been in the NBA forever. He was drafted by the Jazz back in 2011 and spent the first eight seasons of his career in Utah before bouncing around a bit these past two seasons. Burks has spent time with four teams over the past two years but one thing has remained the same: Burks can shoot from beyond the arc.

He is a career 36.4 percent shooter but is mostly a streaky shooter who can get hot in a hurry. In 48 games with the Warriors last season, Burks scored 16.1 points per game while converting 37.5 percent of his three-point attempts. He has never been a starter, only starting in 86 of his 495 appearances, which is good news for potential suitors.

Playoff contenders will be happy to have Alec Burks as a rotational piece who can provide some scoring ability off the bench. He is not a game-changer or really even a must-have player, but Burks can be a quality role player wherever he lands.

Of the players on this list, Burks is probably the least likely to make a large impact on his team. Still, the Pacers need wing depth which is exactly what he can provide while they develop Cassius Stanley and Edmond Sumner a bit.
