The Detroit Pistons have plenty of needs during this offseason, such as a guard who can score in bunches, or who is athletic enough to create shot opportunities for himself or his teammates. There are few in this year's draft that are better in those areas than Memphis' Tyreke Evans.

Once considered ready for the NBA as a sophomore - that's high school, not college - Evans has shown flashes of being a dominant player at the next level. But like most basketball prodigies, Evans hasn't lived up to the larger-than-life expectations.
Here's a scouting report on Evans:

Height: 6-6

Weight: 219

College: Memphis

Last season's stats: 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

Strengths: An excellent scorer who can beat you off the dribble or blow past you while driving into the lane. Has a 7-foot-3 wingspan, which helps explain why he's such a good rebounder for a guard. A flashy player who can deliver highlight-worthy plays either scoring or passing the ball.

Weaknesses: Because the game has come to so easy to him, his work ethic has been questioned. Streaky shooter who relies too much on his athleticism to be effective. He played the point at Memphis, but averaged almost as many assists (3.9) as turnovers (3.6).

Projected draft position: Middle of first round.













BTW ewwwwwwww, Hopefully Reke doesn't end up in Detroit.

Reke is too much of a hog to play with rip and etc. He needs the ball and that would effect stuck too much.

Hamilton doesn't need the ball though. He scores off screens and what not. Doesn't really create his own shot, even though he can.

Tyreke would likely come off of the bench, but I doubt we even get him. This is just an opinionated article.

Evans is one of the biggest ball hogs that I've ever seen in person.

I've heard of him being considered by teams in the top 5. How would he fall to Detroit?

I watched Reke last season and his game frew as the season progressed. When the season started he dominated the ball by taking terrible shots because he felt that was his role as the shooting guard in the dribble drive offense. But once he was moved to point, a light seemed to come on for him. The ball didn't stop with him. He relied on his teammates to lead him. Reke is a special talent, and easily coachable. He respects the vets he plays with, constantly going to Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier for guidence.

It's highly unlikely that he'll fall to the Pistons. Some GMs think he's the best player in the draft not named Griffin. He's 6'6", 219, long wingspan, strong, and wants to be a good defender. If you have any doubts about him, look at his last game in the Sweet 16. He got 30 points without taking a jumpshot. Reke is gonna be a good pick for whoever gets him.
