Player Profile: Tyreke Evans - PG/SG

Tyreke Evans
American Christian '08
PG/SG - 6'5 - 205 lbs
Plays Like: Gilbert Arenas, Rich Man's Jamal Crawford
Committed To: N/A

Excellent ball-handling ability is the first thing you notice about this kid. Tyreke has shown great slashing ability, and gets to the rim with ease and finishes the job when he gets there. His giant wingspan allow him to be a pesky defender. Arguably the best scoring guard in the class of '08. His three point range goes all the way out to NBA three. Runs the fast break well. Has the potential to be an elite guard in the pros.

He is extremely flashy, which may not bode well for him on the next levels. He needs to become more fundamentally sound. Some question his effort at times. If he plans on playing shooting guard at the next level, he needs to learn to be effective without always having the ball in his hands, as he is more effective creating off the dribble.
