Alec Burks will play a critical role on a team that finished last in the NBA in field goal efficiency
There’s little doubt that the New York Knicks shipped Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons as part of a salary dump. And Detroit may be the seventh stop in what will be Burks’ 12th season. But don’t be fooled — Burks is a proven combo guard who can bring a calming presence to a young Pistons team.
Like a fine wine, Burks has become better with age. He was always a solid bench option early in his career in Utah, but the University of Colorado product struggled with efficiency.
