you must have some kinda selective memory. its quite a brain on you, one that can rewrite history. tony parker was 18 when he came into the league. he was tremendously undisciplined, and pop would pull his hair out nightly over parker's mistakes in both the half court offense and on the fast break. he was out of control. young, driving guards often are. more to the point, i have tremendous difficulty with your logic, because its nonexistent. what you're saying makes, quite literally, zero sense. by your logic, dwayne wade never would have developed a passable jump shot. tony parker never would have developed discipline on the defensive side of the ball. kobe bryant never would have become a team leader. and dirk nowitzki never would have become an nba champion. across many seasons in the nba, history dictated that, because those players lacked those traits, they would never achieve them, so trade 'em all!! lebron james should just throw in the towel now, because if he hasn't developed the killer instinct to push his team over the top in fourth quarters across his nine-year nba career, he never will. do you see what i'm saying? do you see why your logic is terribly and irrevocably flawed?
in two-and-a-half years, evans has proved to be a potent driving machine who rebounds well, defends well, and passes adequately. there's room for improvement in many areas of his game, but posters like yourself are so blinded by a tremendously irrational bias that you're willing to look past his actual utility. its amazing the great lengths some of you will go to look past his talent. evans is a flawed player. any ball dominant guard is going to take some time to work out the kinks, and unfortunately for tyreke, there's little in the way of kings' leadership in place, at any level of the organization, to help him improve. but, to answer your question, i want evans playing as a guard. i honestly don't care if its as a PG or SG. he's very clearly a guard, and should be playing at one of those two positions where his size and strength represent a generous mismatch in favor of the kings. and whichever guard spot that evans occupies should be dependent on who he's playing alongside. the kings need less chuckers in the starting lineup and more willing passers. they need a permanent answer at the other guard position (call it PG, if you must), and they need a SF who can play a role as a passer, defender, and occasional spot up shooter. you DO NOT need to trade tyreke evans in order to acquire either of those things...
but most importantly, tyreke is 22 years old. he was 19 when he came into the league. for comparison, dwayne wade was 21 the year he was drafted. saying you've watched evans for a little over three years and claiming you know what kind of player he will be across his entire career is like me saying i've investigated your history as a poster at kingsfans.com and have determined the kind of life you lead. its too small a sample size to determine anything. we know tyreke is an explosive scorer who uses his strength as a weapon when he drives, when he rebounds, and when he defends. these kinds of players find success in the nba. will tyreke's success lead to all star nods and championships? i don't know. but to give up on tyreke evans now is one of the most asinine suggestions i've heard in my entire life as a kings fan, and i am so incredibly baffled at how rampant such an asinine notion is at this website. its like a short-sighted, armchair gm's plague that's spread through the forum. i just hope doesn't eventually spread to the kings actual front office...
