The 6-1 Burton was one of the more productive guards in the country last season, averaging 20.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.3 rebounds as a senior at Nevada. He shot 47 percent from the floor and 31 percent from three while getting to the line nearly seven times per game. Despite an impressive combine (39.5" max vertical leap), Burton went undrafted, but he signed a deal with the Kings in mid-August. While he has the athleticism to play both guard spots, Burton projects to see most of his time at point guard, serving as the backup to both Darren Collison and Ray McCallum. His deal is likely unguaranteed, so there's a chance he could be waived before the regular season, but if he sticks with the Kings, the 2014-15 season will probably be more of a learning experience than anything else.
