Reke's jump shot used to be as broke as Rondo's so that didn't work out. He worked on his outside shooting during the off-season and it's showing. Now if you put the ball in his hands, he is back to being Tyerke circa 2010 w/ a jump shot when he's fit. If anything, he might not pass a physical b/c his knee is a wreck.

and knew how to run the point, then the Celtics could use him.
'Reke still has potential but I'm not sure he has the head to put it together. He most certainly needs a change of scenery though. He's never going to amount to anything with Keith Smart, Geoff Petrie and the Kings.
Maybe in the offseason, we could look at him but adding 'Reke midseason won't work. He barely seems to know the Kings' plays; I can't imagine he'd pick up the Celtics' offense quickly.

Dude can't play point guard. Watching him at the point vs. Isaiah Thomas is night and day. The team works so much better once the ball's out of Evans's hands. Avery Bradley is a better point guard than Tyreke Evans at this point. Hell, AB might just be better than 'Reke period.

I honestly haven't heard a word about him all season outside of trade talk. Looking at his stats, he seems like he's had a halfway decent year although his team is pretty shitty.

He does well, his team does shitty.
He needs to learn how to play team basketball and operate without the ball in his hands. The Kings are a disaster but 'Reke is still a project and thinking he can step in and run point for the Celtics is a recipe for disaster.

Midget/Chucking Point Guards, Headcase C who doesn't play defense, Thompson, Chuck Hayes. Tyreke isn't a star, but come on he isn't the reason they're losing.
When Tyreke isn't running the point, the offense looks better. Obviously the Kings aren't a good team but he's one of the reasons they aren't putting it together. The whole situation in Sacramento is a mess. They need to clean house from GM down.
But the teams that should go after 'Reke are rebuilding teams, not teams that need someone to step up and be able to run the point from day 1. Charlotte should kick the tires, not the Celtics.
