I'm on record as saying I think Tyreke Evans is the best point guard on the team, and the team's second-best player.

Better court vision (than Jrue), ability to penetrate, and durability.

He's a better facilitator. Can see the floor better than Holiday.


I agree with him for the most part

I'll go ahead and downvote myself before the Holiday defenders come through

You don't have to be a Holiday defender to hate the way Tyreke runs the offense much of the time. He makes Joel yell at him to hurry up and get it across the 8 second line at least once per game, and you really saw at the start of game 4 how much the offense bogs down when Tyreke is running the offense but not attacking. Tyreke PnRs are nice, Tyreke dribbling the shot clock down while teammates try and fail to get open, well lets just say he's not CP3. He has complained about how much trouble learning the playbook is twice this season, so I'm really not sure how much improvement we can expect other than hoping his outside shot improves.

I still want to see him as 6th man wrecking ball and not starting PG.

I explained to you why tyreke>>>jrue is false.

Tyreke has to his credit played(very) well for stretches this season but he's not trustworthy for 82 games with his style.

I think Reke has played admirably at times this season, and at times he has been a numbskull. I don't think he's ideal as our PG. I agree that he's better off the bench more than anything. He's got a certain talent and skill set that can ignite the team when needed.

I really like the flashes I've seen from a semi-healthy Holiday. At this point, a discussion of the worth of the trade is pointless. If he comes back healthy, I really believe we'll be good shape at PG with Norris coming off the bench.
