    I've always liked David Aldridge, and there's some good reading here. Tyreke Evans gets some raves:

    Also Flynn:

    You hate Bayless as a point guard but you like Evans? Please explain.

    1. How do you know I like Evans? I report, you decide.
    2. And as a matter of fact, I don't really like Evans as a PG, although he certainly has a better case coming out of college than Bayless did. When Evans was switched to the point, Memphis went on a huge tear. Did Bayless play much PG in college? And his team was stacked but sucked. Evans is actually kind of the opposite of Bayless - Bayless is a short 2G, Evans is a big PG (with, to complete the disanalogy, a ridiculously long wingspan). Evans can't shoot and Bayless at least seemed able to shoot in college.

    Hope that helps.

    You said you always liked David Aldridge and then went on to mention how many raves Evans got ... so why go to all the trouble of posting this if you don't have some interest? Hope that helps.

    True, they did say big, not long or tall.

    More fuel for my "Tyreke Evans obsession":

    Nice stuff about Flynn's defense, too. Surprising about Holiday, but this is just one workout.
