no, that video does not tell the entire story, but i selected that video because it does tell the following story: one of the strongest defensive teams in the nba was flummoxed by tyreke evans, and he exploited their inability to guard him time and again, to the tune of 26 pts (11-13 shooting), 7 asts, 5 rebs, 3 stls, against only 2 turnovers. that is a worthy point, unlike your points a and b, which are confounding. why should tyreke be shooting a lot of 3-pointers? it's not evans' job to pretend he's marcus thornton. it's his job to hit the occasional 3 at an acceptable rate in order to create enough space for his dribble drive to have sustained success. and in a paltry 31 mpg this last season, that was the case. beyond that, what does it even mean to make "a whole lot of them" to you? i'm asking seriously, because you seem to be under the impression that the majority of the nba's guards shoot above 40% from 3...
in your response to rainmaker's post, you state that "Evans is not Wade or LeBron or Westbrook or Rose or any other all-star/elite NBA talent." only one of those guys touched 40% from 3 this last season, and he's the best player in the game. in '12-'13, lebron james shot a shade under 41% from 3, dwayne wade shot 26% from 3, russell westbrook shot 32% from 3, and in an abbreviated '11-'12 season, derrick rose shot 32% from 3. so, except for the best player in the entire league, tyreke evans shot better from 3 than all of the players you claim he's not as good as, yet you insist that he needs to focus on shooting more 3's, even though he's clearly better-suited to the rim attack that he's known for? you sound about as bad as keith smart...
by your logic, tyreke evans needs to be an elite penetrator, a dead-eye from 3, with the court vision of ricky rubio just to earn $12 million a season. you should probably temper your expectations, because they are not grounded in any kind of nba reality. evans has the potential to become a dwayne wade-type of combo guard, and this last season he already shot better from three than wade ever has. even if 'reke topped out as a manu ginobili-type of utility guard, that would still be worth at least $12 million a season...
