Tyreke Evans - 12/16

I like the way Bricklayer said it better. 
"As he stretches the defense and learns to hit that outside shot even more," said Blazers All-Star guard Brandon Roy, "he's going to really become a double threat. Because right now he's almost un-guardable getting to the basket."
That's from this nice S.I. article, which is pretty much one gushing line after another:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/ian_thomsen/12/17/tyreke.evans/index.html
Then when he develops that jumper, and HE WILL, let the UNFAIRNESS BEGIN! The league is full of stars that have games that are unfair. I am glad the Kings have a player who is becoming special enough to be considered unfairly good!! If he gets all star consideration, I would be ecstatic! ROY would be great, but all star game? That would be too much ! Not that he doesn't deserve consideration, but WOW! Amazing pick by Petrie!
As the players on other teams get a look at Reke, this is only going to help once free agency comes up next summer. The unthinkable of attracting star talent may start to become a reality. The Kings core of young players is looking like a pretty good future. Lets hope some of those big men like Bosh are taking notice.

Having seen a lot of his college play a lot of people, including myself, wouldn't have thought he could be this dominant so early in his rookie season..
Talked to my father last night again about this pick.. He's a Memphis alumni and was pissed off about the pick because he wanted Jennings.. He actually canceled his season tickets because he didn't want to pay for what the Kings were putting out on the floor.. Well that and the economy I guess.. Anyway, he has gone back on what he had said.. He basically told me that if we got a player that's dominant like Evans then the hell with worrying about who's going to play PG. It will all come together soon enough..

He does smile, I was exaggerating a bit. But he doesn't emitt much emotion on the court. Which is odd for a rookie, they usually are some of the most emotional players. Casspi gets hella into the game, screaming at the top of his lungs when he makes a wide open three or a freethrow. Though I can't knock him because I couldn't imagine what it feels like to actually score an NBA point. Even if it is a freethrow... That's permanently his point for the rest of eternity.
But yeah, evans' facial expressions rarely change on the court. It's not a bad thing but damn I wasn't trying to say anything bad about him. I remember watching lebron on his rookie season, he smiled a lot. So did Kobe, Wade and Carmelo. Evans just isn't the happy go lucky, smiley type. He looks way to focused. Kinda like Stephen Jackson, which is funny because they have the same type if release on their jumpshot.
I just can't win when it comes to posting about Evans....

It's all good, my man. You just are not the type to buy into hype, I can respect that. However, it ain't hype anymore. It is now reality, and everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, is talking about Evans. You will come around, as will everybody else. Your history in not buying into the pick precedes you. Don't worry man, I've probably given you the most **** out of everybody but I still believe that you, one day very soon, will be leading the charge.
Now I'm gonna go wait for my homie to come over so we can talk Kings basketball over some Tiger Woods golf.

Just like the guy who stole his wifey's account to post here before, I still believe that you, one day very soon, will be leading the charge on cheering for Evans. You wouldn't be able to help it, since you are truly a Kings fan.
I wonder when section 101 and swisshh will do the same thing. I find those guys more entertaining than you sometimes.
Oh, before I forget, I think we can safely say now, that we found our very own version of Lebron, Wade, Arenas, or a Kobe Bryant.
Go Evans!

Saying Evans looks way too focused on his rookie year ( as compared to the other greats ) is a big compliment coming from a guy who seemed at first not liking Evans because of the player who remains nameless. And I am very happy for you because finally we can see a little bit of contentment on you with regardsa to the drafting of Evans over the player who remains nameless.

how many times will i have to say... you know what? never mind. yeah, evans is great...

Look, I'm not saying that Tyreke is the end all-be all. Just that he is that one piece that Geoff Petrie drafted that is going to turn this organization around in a 180. Other players in the NBA are going to want to come play here, we saw that once Petrie got Webber. The difference here is that Petrie DRAFTED that player, which is a tough freaking thing to accomplish especially at the 4th pick.
Would 'the hobbit who shall remain gameless' have been drafted, he might have attracted some big name players to want to play here, maybe. But we know for sure that Reke will. Who wouldn't want to try to win a championship with one of the most dominant point guards in the league? I bet there are a number of big men on soft teams who would love the chance to play with Reke.

because bushes dont talk, especially when they are burning and their werent any dinosaurs... what about carbon dating? science in general.... i like the jesus part though, he seemed like a nice guy. he had a cool beard, i hate shaving so he is cool in my book for pulling that look off.
and i used a smilie in my post... does that mean nothing anymore?

the minute petrie chose evans i was okay with evans... just like his other picks, i just accepted the fact that he is the guy that i was going to be rooting for. if you think that im uptight about this draft you shouldve seen me during the douby days. i wanted a pure pg (sergio) we got a combo (douby) even though we had martin and had drafted garcia the year before. im not down on evans, i like evans. he is a great scorer and plays really well. i just wanted a pure pg, no more gimmicks.... hawes is a gimmick center. i like him but he is hella gimmicky. nocioni is a gimmicky tweener player and now they are trying to turn donte into one as well starting him at sg when we all know he has no business playing sg or pf...
im sure evans will be a good player, just not a pg. thats gonna be an instant argument for a while. even though the same people who argue about it want us to somehow end up with john wall
... he's as much of a sg as evans is a pg. he can play it if you ask him but you'd be missing out on what he can do at his natural position.
