Tyreke looked good for the same reason Asik's dunks looked good, no legit rim protector to increase the difficulty of the shots he would take. I do like the 10 assists though. If he can become a pass first guy then he'd stop taking so many stupid shots when there is a rim protector. He should be able to put up good stats leading up to the trade deadline with the lighter schedule in January. High assist numbers are probably the only thing that should make you think twice about trading him.

but in a game like last nite Tyreke was clearly the alpha dog, and that's OK with me. the offense ran thru Tyreke for long stretches and he made it work

until they find a real scoring wing I think you have to keep him

I don't think that's fair ATL. Tyreke hit some tough shots at the rim last night. I think he just looks more competent and less boneheaded when he has room. I'm not talking about converting layups. I'm referring to those "tyreke wtf nooooooo" moments we've all grown accustomed to. Frankly, they weren't there last night. There just seems to be a disconnect between AD, coach, and Evans. I'm pretty firmly in the don't blow up this roster without trying a real coach crowd. I'm just referring to what we have now. What do we do moving forward if Monty is our coach?

I've been playing daily fantasy sports on the NBA a lot lately, and it really helps you notice and pick up on things you otherwise wouldn't, especially since I'm not getting to watch every Pels game.

But this is so spot on. I've been hammering Evans on my roster any time I don't feel like the other team has a legit rim protector as the difference from game to game is pretty noticeable.
