Tyreke's 3rd year expectations

[pillwenney]

24PPG and 7APG would involve him either making insane leaps or having the ball a lot. It's nice to hope for, but I think it's a little wishful.

I don't know how insane it would be. He averaged 20 and 6 as a rookie. This team is much better than the 09 squad. If he learns to trust his teammates and improves his shot a lil bit, I could see him doing it.

Yeah, but what Mitch is saying is right. As a rookie who else did he fight for the ball!? With Thorton and Cousins now here Evans should look to lessen his attempts and up the efficiency.

I don't see why it can't be both. His passing improved last year towards the end of the season but his scoring sure struggled. I think he can make 24/7 if he keeps up the passing and just increases his shot %.

Bibby didn't have a ton of assist, but he played with two of the best passing big men in the league. That team was special and everyone was sharing the ball. This team doesn't have a quarter of the talent of that team and having a pure pg will make a huge difference.

[SacKingZZZ]

Uh, actually that team could be somewhat similar to the other, especially when you consider the passing potential of a big like Cousins. They must obviously agree since a good chunk of the offense is the same. If we're talking pure talent outside of Webber that team can't touch the pure "talent" that Evans and Cousins have.

I would like to see Tyreke become more of a Deron Williams type player. With Cousins and Thornton scoring more this season, i would like to see Tyreke go 18 pts, 4 reb, 8 ast a game. Less scoring, better defense, and more distributing.

If DMC can go 17pt, 10reb and MT can put up 22pt a game, we will be looking very well rounded.

I just don't think that's who Tyreke is. He's a reactive playmaker, not a floor general. It's time we accepted this.
