Could Alec Burks really be the backup point?

I'll be stunned if Burks plays 200 minutes of point in his rookie season. I love the idea that he might be able to do that, but he needs to concentrate on learning to play off the ball this year. Pro point is hard enough for true point guard rookies.

reasonable expectations?

this isn't a direct answer to the OP, but I think that regardless of who is checked in as PG you'll see plenty of offense run thru Hayward. Burks should be able to handle some play-making, but I think he's a third-string PG right now. We need Watson.

That's what I've been saying, actually. I think they could easily have a scoring guard at point and run the offense through Hayward. Of course, Harris can be that scoring point as well. Burks and Harris are similar in that they prefer to attack than shoot.

They do have Scottie Reynolds in camp. His fans seem to think he could make the team and that he deserves to be in the NBA.
