http://0rz.tw/amEfV Two summers ago, the Kings were touting Tyreke Evans as the franchise savior. After a season of injury followed by a season of reality, Evans’ future as a King seems murky and uncertain. 兩年前國王視reke為不動的基石，在一年受傷一年混亂後，reke在國王的未來似乎有點不確定。 Keith Smart made a bold move when he shifted Evans from point guard to small forward. Really, there was very little he could do but make the change. The results were mixed as expected, but Evans has a laundry list of items to work on regardless of what position he plays. After three seasons, it’s a make or break time for one of the team’s cornerstones. 聰明將reke改打小前鋒，結果如預期般混亂，但reke還是有一些東西需要加強，不管他打什麼位子。三年後，這是球隊基石的關鍵時刻。 Positives Like Marcus Thornton, Evans can score. He can also defend, pass and rebound. While his numbers were down this season, Evans still finished the season averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game as he adjusted to a new position on the offensive end. Clearly these numbers fall short of the lofty standards he put forth as a rookie, but the team around him is considerably better. reke和MT一樣很能得分。他也能防守、傳球以及搶籃板。就算本季的數據下降，但他仍然交出平均16.5分、4.5助攻和4.7籃板的成績，這還是他在進攻端轉換到新位置的情況下所有的數據。當然這比菜鳥年的數據還要低，但球隊也比以前好了。 http://0rz.tw/k96F4 Evans shot 45.3 percent from the field. That number would be acceptable if it wasn’t so heavily dependent on one area of the floor. Evans shot 60 percent from the field at the rim where he took an incredible 492 shots, only 46 less attempts around the basket than DeMarcus Cousins. reke命中率為45.3%，如果這並不高度依賴某個位置的命中率的話這數據還能夠接受。reke 在籃框附近命中率是60%，而他投了492次，只比表弟少了46次。 During the season, Evans, at the urging of his brothers, brought in highly-regarded shooting coach Keith Veney to work on shooting basics. What we saw after that point in the season was a complete abandonment of the 3-point shot. Following Veney’s arrival on March 14th, Evans went just 1-for-12 from long range over his final 20 games. Shockingly, Evans went 2-for-6 from around half court on the season for a robust 33-percent accuracy. That’s 13 percent better than his overall 3-point shooting stroke. 球季中reke的哥哥找來了投籃醫生來幫他加強投籃。之後所看到的是他完全放棄投三分。在3月14日Veney來了後，reke在最後20場比賽長距離投12只中1，但在半場卻投6中2，比三命中率還要好13%。 With Evans’ physique, he has the ability to guard three positions. At a little over 6-foot-5, with an incredible 6-foot-11.25 wingspan, Evans should be able to guard wings that are considerably taller than him. He has the length, strength, size and athleticism to be an elite defender and he is in one-on-one situations. reke的體格有能力防守三個位置。身高6'5和擁有6'11"25的超長臂展，reke應該能夠防守比他還要高的鋒線。他有高度、力量、size和運動能力成為很棒的防守者。 Evans’ 1.33 steals per game were good enough for 10th place amongst NBA point guards and a tie for fifth among small forwards. But similar to Thornton, the majority of Evans’ steals came in isolation defense, not from effectively playing the passing lanes. reke平均1.33次抄截在控衛排名第十，在小前鋒排第五。但就跟MT差不多，reke的抄截主要來自於單防，而不是判斷傳球路線而來。 Evans is a good rebounder for a point guard, leading the league from the position at 4.6 rebounds per game. But as a small forward, he was good enough for just 15th place and over his final 12 games, he averaged just 2.5 rebounds which is completely unacceptable. 以PG而言，reke很會搶籃板，平均4.6籃板排名第一。但在小前鋒位置，只排第15名，而且在最後12場比賽，平均只有2.5籃板。 Negatives I feel like this is about to go the way of Jimmer Fredette. 我感覺這跟Jimmer的去向有關。 This was supposed to be the year for Tyreke Evans. It was supposed to be the season that he put the Kings on his back and became a cross between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Ok, maybe that is too much of a stretch, but potential was supposed to become production in year three. The foot was healed. He spent the elongated off-season working out with Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook. This year was supposed to be his launching pad. 這原本會是reke的大年，會將國王帶往不一樣的高度，傷也痊癒了，也和Rose以及西河在一起訓練。 Instead, Evans’ development stagnated. Plenty of critics will say he regressed, but the stats show otherwise. They say that he was basically the same player we saw in year one, but that he shot the ball nearly two times less per game and he drew fewer fouls. A lot less in fact. If we take the 1.9 less shot attempts (which equates to 1.8 points per game) and his 1.6 fewer attempts from the free throw line, Evans would have averaged 19.9 points per contest, a smidge off the 20.1 points he averaged as a rookie. 但reke的發展停滯了，許多的批評都說他退步了。他們說他和第一年的時候一樣，但事實上他平均投籃數將近少了2次，而且所造成的犯規更少了。如果以所少掉的1.9次投籃(這等於平均少掉1.8分)和每均少掉1.6次罰球機會來說，reke平均將會是19.9，跟菜鳥時的20.1 沒差多少。 Above, we looked at the basic breakdown. Below, the zones are better defined and shot attempts are added in, which shows us some interesting trends. 上面講的是基本分析。 http://0rz.tw/QnGyk As a wing, Evans felt more comfortable with the left side of the court on offense. He is a heavily right-handed ball handler, so this makes sense. If you trace an arc from the left elbow, through the top of the key and end at the right side of the rim, you can see where Evans makes his living. Unfortunately, I am not the only person in this world with this information and defending a player who makes his living on one path, isn’t exactly difficult. 在鋒線時，reke進攻端在球場左邊感覺較舒服，他是個很依賴右手的球員，所以這很合理。reke大部分都是從左邊的肘區往右走，然後在籃框的右邊上籃，而你知我知獨眼龍也知。 What does this say? It says that Evans is predictable. It also shows you that he has some work to do. 這代表著reke是可預測的，這也代表著他必須去改善。 First and foremost, Evans needs to improve with his left hand. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing an NBA player rely so heavily on a dominant hand. Evans needs to not only use his left more as an offensive weapon, but he needs to learn how to distribute with both hands if he ever wants to become a competent pick and roll player. 首先reke必須加強他的左手。沒有什麼事比看到NBA球員過度依賴某隻手還要感到挫折。 reke不只是需要更常使用左手，還需要學著如何雙手都能夠傳球，如果他想要成為一名更全面的PNR球員。 With a big man like Cousins on your side, you need to have a defined two-man game. If Evans and Cousins can ever develop chemistry, it is easy to see where the duo could dominate. Unfortunately, Evans is not capable of using a screen effectively at this point in his career and we already discussed the issue with distributing the ball, so the two-man game is left to Cousins and Thornton which is a shame. 和表弟這樣的大個同隊，必須要有很不錯的兩人小組搭配。如果reke和表弟能夠培養出火花，那就沒啥問題了。不幸的是，reke還沒有能力有效率地利用單擋，所以很遺憾的只能看表弟和MT表演。 This plays into a larger issue with Evans. He was moved to small forward, partly out of necessity and partly because a 25-percent assist rate just isn’ t going to cut it for a winning team. Evans learned quickly that cutting into the lane to catch Cousins’ passes for lay-ups was too easy. But, he has no catch-and-shoot game to speak of and his ability to come off screens for a pick-and-pop is non-existent. 這部分是比較大的問題，他被移去打小前鋒，雖然他很快速地學會往裡面跑，但是因為他沒有catch-and-shoot的能力，所以pick-and-pop是不存在的。 Before last season, basketball legend Pete Carril gave an honest assessment of Evans “in-between game”. Here we are two seasons later and the assessment by a Hall of Fame coach is still spot on. Evans needs to work hard this off-season at becoming a true offensive weapon. For comparisons sake, here is a look at his rookie shooting numbers. While there are some subtle differences, there is a huge gap between the 3-point line and the basket that Evans needs to discover and exploit. reke需要在季外繼續努力成為真正的進攻武器。現在來看一下他菜鳥年的投籃數字，三分線和籃框中間是reke需要去加強的。 http://0rz.tw/zN0gR As a playmaker, Evans needs to acknowledge that he is not going to have the ball in his hands enough for a usage rate of plus-25 percent. He also needs to realize there is a difference between being a guy who gets assists versus a willing passer. Andre Iguodala sported a usage rate around 18 percent and an assist rate of nearly 24 percent for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. That should be the new bench mark for Evans. 身為playmaker，reke需要承認不一定需要球在他手上。他也需要了解有助攻和一個有意願的傳球者之間的差別。小AI本季的usage rate只有18%左右，而助攻率差不多24%，這將會是reke新的模板。 On defense, Evans has been described in the past as a man waiting for a bus when his man doesn’t have the ball. He needs to engage and stay engaged for every minute he is on the floor. The days of falling asleep when your man doesn’t have the ball are over. If the Kings want to improve as a team, Evans is the lynch pin, regardless of position. 在防守方面，reke被形容為當他的被防者沒球時他就像是等公車的人。他需要在場上的每一分一秒都戰戰兢兢，如果國王想要進步，reke是不可或缺的一部分。 While he has the makings of an elite defender, again like Iguodala, Evans has a player-efficiency rating against of 15.6 as a point guard, 16.3 as a shooting guard and 16.8 as a small forward. None of those numbers say elite defender. He needs to take the next step because the excuses are over. His length and quickness should have him in the top two or three in steals, which equate to easy baskets. He should be a lock-down defender at either the point or two and a very competent option at the three. 當他有能力成為最棒的防守者，reke打PG的效率值為15.6%，SG為16.3%，小前鋒為16.8%，這些都不是最棒防守者該有的數字。他需要前進了，他的長度和速數應該讓他在抄截排行榜排名前幾，而這代表著輕鬆的得分機會。他應該是個大鎖不管是打哪個位置。 Conclusion This is a make or break year for Evans (that is if he remains a King). Geoff Petrie is not going to offer him a long-term deal this summer and that means he is playing for a monstrous pay day. That also means the Kings might look to cash in on Evans’ enormous potential and spend their money on a more proven asset. 這是關鍵的一年。Petrie這夏天不會給他長約，這代表著這是他的合約年，這同時也意味著國王也許會想要投資在證明過的球員。 While Evans demonstrated he can hang as a small forward on an interim basis, he becomes a bigger match-up advantage at either the point or shooting guard positions. The Kings are bent on stabilizing small forward with a shooter, either through trade, draft or free agency. That means that Evans needs to unseat Isaiah Thomas at the point or Marcus Thornton at shooting guard. My bet is that if Evans is still around next season, he will start at shooting guard alongside Thomas with Thornton making a run at Sixth Man of the Year. 我賭reke下季會是先發SG，和IT搭配，而MT將會是年度最佳第六人的競爭者。 If Evans is the starting shooting guard, he’d better show up to training camp a changed man. The list of improvements is long: play better off the ball, shoot better from long distance, develop a mid-range game, play stellar defense and become a willing passer. It’s a tall order, but with great talent and potential comes great responsibility. So far, Evans has not proven he can take the type of leap both he and the Kings need to make. 如果reke是先發PG，他最好在訓練營時就變得不一樣。在無球跑動方面需要有進步，長距離跳投要進步，要有中距離，防守要進步，成為一名願意傳球的人。這要求很高，但能力越強責任越大。到目前為止他還沒證明自己是那個可以依靠的人。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.240.144.127 ※ 編輯: eliczone 來自: 111.240.144.127 (08/20 22:42)
