You guys seen his FG%??? I'll let you guys look it up. It's definitely not in line with this chucker description you all paint.
Shot 63% at the rim on 6 attempts per game, 27% from 3-9 feet on 1.4 attempts per game, 40% from 10-15 feet on .2 attempts per game, and 33% from three on 2 attempts per game. That's not terrible. But I'm not a big fan of his game personally. I think he's a great swingman to come off the bench, but I don't know if he could be much more on a winning team. Here's a Kings fan on whether or not his shot is improving: http://cowbellkingdom.com/2013/02/07/has-tyreke-evans-improved-his-jump-shot/ For the Rockets, I don't think he'd be a great fit.
Basically sums it up for me. I actually like the guy and prior to getting Harden I would of liked to take a look at him. But, with the team we have now and the direction we are moving he simply does not fit into what we are trying to do here.
'Reke can't play the 2, because his physique is nothing special for a two guard. The reason he did so well his rookie year was because he matches up well with smaller point guards. Of course, it's tough to win with a point guard who plays like that. You need to build the team completely with that in mind.

What a stupid move by the Pelicans. They already have Eric Gordon unless they plan on moving him. I read that they want to make Evans play SF which is also dumb. There is no good reason for them to sign Tyreke Evans.
If Tyreke grows a beard .... maybe he can be a poor man's James Harden. Their games are very similar.
Tyreke doesnt want to play SF, yet he's being offer $11 mill a year to do so? I am lost as to whether or not NO wants Reke to play PG or SF
