5th Annual SI Player Rankings: #2 SG

[jonathanlambert33]

Only five players in the league averaged 6 rebounds and 6 assists a game though, so not many

Tyreke had that pretty 17, 5, and 7 line

Too bad his jumper is still broken

I'm interested in seeing what the weight loss will do for his explosiveness.

I guess I could just wait for the rankings to shake out, but where would you say a healthy Wes Matthews ranks amongst the SGs on this list?

 

[Hurricane Season]

By healthy I mean pre-achilles

 

[elcheato]

Higher than Kobe

An average jumper for the entire league maybe, for his position, no

might hurt his finishing through contact

might hurt his finishing through contact

Doesn't really finish through contact anyway lol, why he gets to the FT line so little.

 

[elcheato]

I imagine Tyreke will be the same player

No he isn't.
 
This past year, he shot 55.8% from 0 to <3 feet, which is pretty solid. Not exceptional, but far from bad. However, from 3 feet to <3PT he shot 33.0%, and from 3PT range he shot 30.4%. Now that is bad. That's not average, no not even close. That has to be one of the worst shooting percentages I've seen from a starting wing. To put that into context, Rajon Rondo this past year shot 63.3% from 0 to <3 feet, 33.9% from 3 feet to <3PT, and 31.4% from 3PT range.
 
 
 
Yes, Rondo had better shooting percentages than Tyreke Evans, ever so slightly. Now, I won't ignore the fact that Rondo had 645 FGA, compared to Evans' 1165 FGA, because that does somehow inflate Rondo's numbers slightly, but the comparison is still there. Tyreke Evans is an AWFUL shooter.

Rondo somehow made it into the SG discussion, egad!

I love how in some polls Rip takes his damn ass time and for others he just blitzes through them. One day we will go through like 3 spots and another we will go through 1 lol.

Im not complaining, I just think its funny. Great job so far.
