Evans is the Kings' most experienced player at running a team."Whether it's me playing the point or the two (shooting guard), I'm going to have to dictate the game more," Evans said. "Not just trying to go out there and play but find out what's best for us to win. Whether it's getting the ball to DeMarcus (Cousins) or me, maybe it's Salmons. Whoever it is, I have to try to find a way to get them the ball."
McClanaghan is still drilling Evans on his shooting, emphasizing consistency with his motion. Evans said he's much more comfortable not bringing the ball behind his head to shoot – an emphasis last year.
"With Tyreke, I really stress, 'Nothing short,' " McClanaghan said. "When he misses, he's always short. He's never long from what I've seen in the past months. I just try to stress if you're going to miss, let's be long. Let's give it a chance to go in, and to me that's a good miss."
"People think by getting 20, 5 and 5, I'm happy," Evans said. "But I don't care. I just want to win. If I have six points and we win and I didn't do good, I'm happy to get the W."
"It's going to be tough without (Udrih), but I think we've got a good team. We've got some new pieces to the puzzle that are going to help us out a lot defensively and offensively."
He seems to now be ready to take his game and his leadership to the next level.
