The Lone Granger Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 There's been a lot of comparisons between these two guys. They have the same kind of take it right at you gameplay, and they put up very similar numbers in their rookie seasons. LeBron James: 2003-04 Season20.9 PPG, 5.9 APG, 5.5 RPG, 1.6 SPG. Tyreke Evans: 2009-10 Season20.1 PPG, 5.8 APG, 5.3 RPG, 1.5 SPG Those numbers are incredibly close. Just thought I'd compare them simply because I've enjoyed the debates about them. Basically I want you guys to look at the rookie seasons of both of these guys and compare their games, and maybe even their futures? Does Tyreke Evans have the potential to play similar to LeBron? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted October 21, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't think Tyreke will hit that level of play LeBron has, at least not reaching potential triple-double status as frequently. He's obviously not as big as James (in height or weight, or muscle mass...LeBron probably has 25 pounds on him, at least), so the rebounding will almost always be in James' favor. Possibly driving to the rim. Assists really depends on how Evans plays with Cousins. Eventually, he could average double-digit assists, but I'm leaning towards him being more of a scorer than a Steve Nash. Statistically, I don't think he'll catch up. Overall playing abilities, it's possible, but LeBron is pretty far ahead right now. Evans does a lot of things good. James does a few things GREAT, and a lot of things really good. Hard to compare. It's definitely interesting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I always think Evans as a baby LeBron... they play similar style... LeBron likes to drive coast to coast in traffic with speed and power, it's the same with Evans. I don't know if he can be as dominant as LeBron scoring wise... and rebounding wise. The only department he could come close is assist. LeBron is the total package... Evans is a poor man's LeBron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
