Tyreke Evans er meistari sniðskotsins

Tyreke Evans, nýliði Sacramento Kings, er ekki aðeins þriðji nýliðinn í sögu NBA að ná 20-5-5 að meðaltali í leik (á eftir Michael Jordan og LeBron James) heldur leiðir hann deildina í dag í skottilraunum við körfuhringinn og einnig nýtingu þar.  Sem er hreint ótrúlegt fyrir tvítugan strák sem er rétt undir tveim metrum á hæð og á sínu fyrsta tímabili í bestu og erfiðustu körfuknattleiksdeild í heimi.

According to Hoopdata, Tyreke averages 8.3 attempts at the rim, about .7 more than the player in 2nd place, Zach Randolph.  He's also 1st in the league in makes at the rim at 5.0 a game (tied with LeBron).  More attempts and makes than every single big man in the league.

And what's even more unique about Tyreke is how much his scores at the rim are unassisted, unlike big men and explosive players like LeBron who throw down alley oops on a regular basis.  Tyreke is only assisted on 24.7% of his makes around the rim, while LeBron is at about 48.1%.  The only other player in the top 40 of Attempts at the rim with less % of his makes that are assisted is Russell Westbrook at 21.2% (Attempts 5.7 FG at the rim a game). The other guards in the top 40? Wade (7.2 attempts, 33.4% assisted), Ellis (6.7 attempts, 36.4% assisted), Stephen Jackson (6.1 attempts, 55.4% assisted), Stuckey (5.9 attempts, 29.8% assisted), Rose (5.6 attempts, 35.1% assisted), Rondo (5.4 attempts, 33.3% assisted), and Tony Parker (5.2 attempts, 27.7% assisted).
