Tyreke's summer plans

[kennadog]

This was part of Amick's article in the Bee today. I didn't see it anywhere else....

....... Most of those came from 15 feet and beyond with Evans crediting his improvement partly to a pregame shooting session with his brother, Doc. It easily was Evans' best game shooting from long range this season and a vast improvement from the norm.

Entering play, Evans was shooting 29.8 percent from outside the paint. The relevance is profound, as the notion of Evans not only finding his teammates at this recent rate but showcasing a consistent jumper would take his game to a new level.

"Once I get that down pat, and I'm going to work hard on it this summer, it's going to be a tough night for anyone to guard me," Evans said.

Which is precisely the plan. As has been the case since Evans was a toddler in Chester, Pa., his brothers will be pushing him to continue improving. They said he'll train in Los Angeles this summer, with the main objective to improve his shooting and a number of other items on the to-do list as well.

Keith Veney will be his shooting coach, adding Evans to his client list that has included Dallas' Caron Butler, Boston's Paul Pierce and Detroit's Ben Gordon, among others. Evans also will utilize a track coach to help with his conditioning and a boxing coach to push his physical ability and stamina to a new level. The plan calls for former NBA player B.J. Armstrong and professional trainer Rob McClanaghan to help with Evans' cause as well.

Oh man Tyreke will be unstoppable next year. He is going to be an all star next year.

 

[Section 101]

So I was right in the other thread. He will not be working in sacramento with the Kings coaches. Brick was wrong !!!!

 

[Kingster]

This is why he could be a great, great player. He's hungry, and he's going to be chowing down on the league next year.

 

[cstorm]

and a boxing coach to push his physical ability

Yeh! Bring on Kobe!! A new era begins... [/insert Rick Fox getting clocked video here/]

 

[ParniValjak]

So I was right in the other thread. He will not be working in sacramento with the Kings coaches. Brick was wrong !!!!

Does it matter who he works with?!

He knows what he needs to work on and his team is recruiting well credentialed professionals to help him improve on his weaknesses.

Its actually refreshing to see that they have already planned what is on agenda this summer and made the necessary moves to make it happen.

If he can improve his jumper over the next 2-3 years (it will take time) he will be unstoppable. We saw against Minny a glipse of what Tyreke with a jumpshot can do to the opposition.

 

[est.1999]

You don't find many players like this. Next year is gonna be something out of this world.

But....you were wrong in that you intimated there was nothing his brothers could do to help his jumpshot as they haven't done anything about it yet....excpet his brother popped in before the Minny game and helped Evans with it and the results spoke for themselves....

yes it does. Clearly whatever he was doing wasnt working. Right?

Good for him to get a real shooting coach who works with NBA players.

 

[Kingsguy881]

One other thing...so Kobe should have worked out with the Lakers staff instead of Olajuwon in the offseason...so Martin never worked out with the Kings staff but went back East and worked with a number of different trainers...why pick on Evans when damn near everyone in the league takes the summer to work with a specialist not employed by their team?

So does that imply he listens to his brothers and not the kings coaches or were the kings coaches not trying to help him?

 

[Aenadin]

he should snag hawes and JT to work with team tyreke....

not jumpers though

make them mroe physical

 

[Kingsguy881]

yes it does. Clearly whatever he was doing wasnt working. Right?

And how do you know he even worked on his jumper prior to now...it probably never was a glaring weakness in that his other game aspects were so dominant...he is such a stud he didn't need a jumper to dominate at his prior levels...however now he sees that at this level he could be a top 5 talent, ELITE talent, and all he has to do really is develop a steady jumper.

Yes Martin worked out with Thorpe, he was also in Sac most of the time working out at the Kings practice facility. So were Greene, JT, Garcia.

But dont you think there is a big difference between working out with someone in your hometown vs an NBA level coach?

 

[sactownfan]

Maybe he can take Hawes with him to train with him... Lol! This is great news!!! We are so blessed to have such a humble an motivated star!

Side note: how many coaches do u all think Hawes has lined up for the summer? Lol! Who are we kidding... Hawes would never take boxing

Tyreke! Thank you for being so awesome we so badly needed a leader like u.

 

[Bricklayer]

Don't you think there is a big difference between being a penniless 19 year old living in a slum and being a young millionaire with a multimillion dollar company standing behind you?

Not a lot of 18 yr old kids with the coin to hire a bank of top professional trainers and several ex pros to work them over. The ones who do have it are probbaly on the take.

As has been noted, oh, just a few times, its actually fairly rare for the superstar class players to have a jumper at Reke's age. What was LeBron's jumper looking like at that age? What about Magic's? MJ had one, but it was the shakiest part of his game entering. It was CP3's weakness, it was Kobe's weakness, DWade's weakness. Lazy and ignorant all of them? No. Dominant all of them in other aspects. Then you hit the pros, get the money, and if you are serious about being a megastar, hire your bank of trainers and shot docs, and then its lights out.

 

[ParniValjak]

What ever he was doing wasn't working?!

WTF are you on about. He is by far the best prepared rookie for the life in the NBA. He was developed specifically for the NBA game. His jumpshot WILL improve.

The kid is playing like an all-star in his rookie year putting up a legitimate 20/5/5 and its clearly not working?! Give me a break!

Very few players work out with their team's coaches during the summer. They all have their trainers that are heling them get better. Martin was always working out with Thorpe. Kobe has his trainers, LeBron has his trainers, Wade has his trainers etc...

Why should Tyreke be any different. Your every attempt to discredit the kid is just plain pathetic.

His brothers have worked to a plan that has worked very well for years and they have just planned his summer and hired a shooting coach who has credentials in the NBA and you are still whinging about Tyreke not working out with the team's coaches?! You have got to be kidding me.

I was refering to his jump shot only.

And again. Yes Martin worked with Thorpe for about 2 weeks in the summer. He was mostly working out at the Kings facility.

I'm sure he could have gotten a loan or credit once he was drafted.

Evans J is in much worse shape than any of those players. Their form was at least decent. Which means its a lot more work for evans to get it to their level.

I wouldn't say that this applies to everyone, but in general, the players that come out of college that are great three point shooters ususally aren't great athlete's. So they had to be able to shoot the ball from the outside. Many of them, while being great shooters, wern't very good at getting their own shot. Guys like Reddick and Kerr. There's a kid coming out this year that might be an exception to a certain degree and thats James Anderson. But he's a terrible defender, and not a particularly good penetrater to the basket.

On the other hand you have guys like Wade, LeBron etc. that were able to do whatever they wanted on the court in highschool in LeBron's case or college in Wade's case. It wasn't until they got to the NBA that they needed the outside shot. Last night we had a brief glimpse into the future. Not only was Tyreke unstoppable, his mere presence on the floor made it easier for everyone else to score. He could have easily had 15 or 16 assists if anyone could have made a shot.

So what's your favorite flavor of Haterade?

I'm not trying to defend 101, but I think he was referencing Tyreke's jumpshot, not his overall game.

 

[Grawlix]

Tyreke's summer homework = Work on jumper

Section 101's summer homework = Learn to swallow pride

 

[jthompson1]

You really need to get over this obsession of Hawes. Give it a rest.

 

[Tetsujin]

You really need to get over this obsession of Hawes. Give it a rest.

Plus, no one's ever questioned Hawes's shooting ability.

 

[chasen4r1]

Doesn't this explain it..?

His brothers have worked to a plan that has worked very well for years and they have just planned his summer and hired a shooting coach who has credentials in the NBA and you are still whinging about Tyreke not working out with the team's coaches?! You have got to be kidding me.

and from the original article

Keith Veney will be his shooting coach, adding Evans to his client list that has included Dallas' Caron Butler, Boston's Paul Pierce and Detroit's Ben Gordon, among others.

I think it's clear that Tyreke will be getting coached by someone who other quality offensive players trust in. His shot will be getting plenty of work. This may be the better option than staying with Sacramento's coaches.

 

[JB_kings]

I was refering to his jump shot only.

And again. Yes Martin worked with Thorpe for about 2 weeks in the summer. He was mostly working out at the Kings facility.

Thorpe has worked with Martin here in Sac and in Clearwater, FL with Thorpe's other NBA and prospect clients in the summer. It's more of a schedule thing than revealing of anything.

Also, why a player chooses to work with a hired trainer as opposed to the team coaches? To put it bluntly, the coaches work for the team first. As a player whose livelyhood is all wrapped up in their body, they just feel more comfortable trusting a trainer who is on their payroll. Same with medical concerns. You get diagnosed by the team doctor, but you get a second opinion from a specialist who isn't on the club payroll. I'm sure Tyreke has lots of faith in the people handling his business. You might disagree, but I'm sure you can see his point of view.

 

[DeMoN]

You really need to get over this obsession of Hawes. Give it a rest.

I dont think ive ever read a post from him that didnt have hawes in it

 

[Bricklayer]

Found this little note on Keith Veney:

"He" is Keith Veney, a Nike NBA player representative who set the NCAA record for three-pointers in a career (409) and single game (15) while at Marshall.

So at least he has some relevant experience I suppose, even if many of the best coaches don't.
