Tyreke Offer Sheet. Match or not?

Metrics, advanced or otherwise, are unable to take into account the players around the player being measured. You know what? I am sure Vasquez does look decent defensively playing for a defensive minded coach backstopped by Anthony Davis. Imagine that. Meanwhile Reke is operating in a system where he's virtually the only guy even trying on defense half the time, there is no shotblocking, nobody switches right or rotates or calls out a pick, and the team ranks 29th in defense again.
BTW, I am not anti-Vasquez. If we could get him cheap he's an interesting player. He is however not worthy to hold Reke's sweaty jock, and swapping the two would be a signficiant, SIGNIFICANT, step back in talent for a franchise that needs every drop it can find.

So enemy one of three has been cleared. 
There is a reason Vasquez is been passed up by two new potential players for the Hornets, they prefer both Holiday and Tyreke. Tyreke on the other hand hasn't been iven a chance to play as PG, not to mention the fact he has more potenntial, is younger, is more skilled. He is a better match with McLemore than Vasquez is, imo. Tyreke/McLemore gives us two big ways of scoring, one's a three point shooter and the other drives to the rim well. With Vazquez/McLemore we have, well, three point shooting.
Evans tops Vazquez in defense/potential in defense too... Not sure why this is even a question. We can have a potential top five guard in the future, or someone who will always be mediocre who was not considered by his previous franchise as the future at the point...

That wasn't the question to which you replied. He is not, nor has he ever been a pass first PG. Can he penetrate, draw defenders and dish? Hell yes he can, as can Reke. But he does it from a scorers mentality as he is a big time threat to score when attacking the paint.
As many have said, there's multiple ways to create good looks and you don't need a pass first PG to do that, as SA shows with Parker, or we did with Bibby.

If we would have got Iggy, i would have voted S&T. But at this point theres no reason not to match it. Tyreke better realize what that contracts means though, alot of responsibility the organization is putting on him. I want to see him become a leader, show tenacity, and at least have a respectable off the dribble jumpshot, and develop things ling teardrops, baby hooks, a left hand, become a elite defender. Everyone says match no question, ignoring the clear holes in his game if we ever want him to be the kind of player a lot of you guys envision him as.
