If we pick Burke…?

It is starting to look like Burke is the pick. If that is the case, what would be the point guard situation next year? A few questions come to mind:
1 is Burke ready to start in the NBA straight away?
If the answer is yes, then do we keep Vasquez as backup or trade Vasquez and trust Roberts?
If the answer is yes, would Vasquez agree to be Burke's back up?
If the answer is no, can Vasquez really refuse given the fact that he has a year left in his contract?
If the answer to question 1 is no, then again do we keep Vasquez to start at the beginning and then transition into Burke? Or do we look for an additional upgrade for the PG position?

I believe Burke will succeed in the NBA. I just don't see this dude being a bust. Therefore I want to draft him. Not ready to give up on Rivers though.

I would be willing to take a chance on being wrong about him. Watching him play, he is just a gamer. He hustles, he takes control of games, and he can score.
You don't come across players like that very often.
ETA: I really should have read the rest of the OP.
At this point, I don't think keeping Vasquez as a backup could hurt. We just need to find a good SF somewhere.
