    Tyreek Evans is a tragic player in Zhang Weifeng's mind. In his previous life, he was able to score 20+5+5 in his first season with the Kings. As the fourth player in history to be able to do this,  Zhang Weifeng has always believed that Evans still has his outstanding qualities.  However, why did he start to decline year after year after winning the Rookie of the Year in his rookie season? Zhang Weifeng believes that this has something to do with the Kings' tactical system and arrangements at the time.  Tyreke Evans and James are actually very similar players. It can be said that neither of them shot very well in the first year of their careers, but the same two people's bodies, breakthrough abilities, and mobility are among the best in the league.  of.  However, in comparison, James is more comprehensive and can adapt to any position, so he has survived in the league and is getting better and better.  However, Zhang Weifeng believes that Evans is suitable to play as a combo guard, that is, a swingman at the 1st and 2nd positions. After all, he was able to get 20+5+5 in his first season solely because he can completely serve as the No. 1 player.  players to control the ball.  However, there is still a reason for the death of Tyreke Evans. After seeing the excellence of Evans, the Kings were simply very excited. Although the offensive ability is relatively simple, no matter how you compare it, Tai  Rick Evans is completely another James. The only difference is that James is 6 feet 8 inches tall, while Evans is only 6 feet 6 inches tall. Due to the height difference, Tyrik Evans  His development path is destined to be impossible to be the same as James'.  However, the Kings don¡¯t think or think that way.  They thought they got lucky and picked up another James in the draft, so in the season after Evans.  The Kings' coaching staff began to arrange Evans to play the 2 position, and later even the forward and guard swingman.  This change of position makes Evans extremely uncomfortable. In his life, he prefers to control the ball. However, because his height is too high, everyone's hopes for him have gradually increased.  .  The Kings are looking forward to the outbreak of Tyrique Evans based on James' career.  However, this is also the Kings' biggest failure.  Evans doesn't adapt well to playing away from the ball, and he can't play swingman, at least.  His performance proved that he was completely unsuited to this position and confrontation.  Although Evans has a height of 6 feet 6, compared with other No. 2 players in the league, his shooting ability is the biggest constraint on him, and compared with players at the No. 3 position in the league.  His height and physical confrontation have become shortcomings again.  Therefore, after playing an extremely brilliant season in the first year, Evans, who was forced to be pushed to the 2nd and 3rd positions by the head coach, gradually lost his way after bad games one after another, and when the Kings found out, they also  It was too late. Evans seemed to be no longer as confident as he was in his rookie season in many aspects. After that, the Kings got the talented inside man DeMarcus Cousins, so Evan was considered to be on the decline by experts.  Si was slowly abandoned from the core position by the Kings In Zhang Weifeng's heart.  Tyreke Evans is a very good player, at least he can make a difference at the combo guard position.  Maybe Evans' performance in his rookie season had a lot of luck in it.  But in Zhang Weifeng's view, Evans can still be used as one of the cornerstones of a team at any time.  Zhang Weifeng hoped to get Evans, but the Kings' No. 23 pick did not have this ability, so he had no choice but to give up.  However, Zhang Weifeng still has a glimmer of hope, because in this year's draft, Evans himself was a player who was not very good at playing in high school, but in just a few years, he reached his current level.  It has to be said that he is a genius, but because he came into contact with basketball late, Evans' basic skills have become a big problem restricting his draft pick.  Therefore, if there is an accident in the draft, the Kings may really have a chance to get Evans.  Of course, judging from this year's draft situation, the possibility of Evans appearing outside the lottery is almost zero.  It was the Warriors¡¯ turn to choose. The Warriors are the holders of this year¡¯s No. 8 pick. After some confident thinking, the Warriors unexpectedly chose Brandon Jennings, who has been working hard in Europe this year.  This choice did not surprise Zhang Weifeng. After all, historically speaking, Mark Jackson preferred a point guard.  Then, it was the Cavaliers' turn.  Zhang Weifeng is also very concerned about the Cavaliers' selection. Not only Zhang Weifeng is concerned, but some Eastern teams in the league are also very concerned about the Cavaliers' selection. Zhang Weifeng himself is afraid that the Cavaliers will choose Tyreke Evans.  Because in terms of stickiness to the ball, James and Evans are completely on the same level. If the Cavaliers really choose Evans, then the headache for Big Bread Brown will come later. Let the two  Players playing reasonably is the real issue.  However, what made Zhang Weifeng slap his head was that the Cavaliers really chose Tyreke Evans.In fact, the Cavaliers' choice is very good. If Evans can partner with James during the Heat, then he can completely develop into Wade's model, and there is no problem with the coexistence of the two.  Because Evans is as good at breakthroughs and cuts as Wade, and James, who came to the Heat, is a complete passing master. If the two of them partner up, Evans will undoubtedly become very good, and how far will he develop?  It must also be a thought-provoking thing.  However, the question now is, what kind of sparks will James and Evans create in the Cavaliers?  And in the Cavaliers, will Evans disappear from everyone?  This is what Zhang Weifeng is most concerned about.  Zhang Weifeng was obviously preoccupied, but General Manager Petrie thought he was resting, so he didn't bother him.  The draft went by very quickly. When David Stern came out from behind the screen again and again, the draft picks were slowly revealed one by one.  ?Tenth pick: Bucks, Austin Daye. ? 11th pick: Nets, Terrence Williams.  ??Twelfth pick: Bobcats, Gerald Henderson.  The thirteenth pick When Petrie was about to take a photo of Zhang Weifeng, he suddenly found that Zhang Weifeng had raised his head and looked towards him.  It turned out that Zhang Weifeng had not rested. He had been listening to the announcement of the draft lottery while lowering his head.  Soon, it was the Kings' turn to make a choice, so Petrie couldn't help but ask about Zhang Weifeng.  Zhang Weifeng was very helpless at this time, because the quality of the 2009 draft was not very good. To be precise, it was not as good as that of 2008, and there were fewer potential rookies. So when the 23rd pick was reached, it can be said that there were no  What a particularly good player, but the Kings still need to make a choice.  After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Weifeng didn't have too many clues, so he had to signal Petrie to make his own decision.  Soon, when Stern read out the Kings¡¯ decision, Zhang Weifeng was not too surprised.  The Kings chose Omikabis from Europe, to be precise, a player from the country of Israel.  Omikaspi has a height of 6 feet 9 inches. He is a player who is relatively accurate in outside baskets, and the Kings selected him for many reasons.  Soon, Zhang Weifeng also began to get to know this player named Omikabis. His height was a great advantage, just like Rashard Lewis back then. Well, to be precise, it should be Lewis now.  His height gives him a very big advantage in the third position. If this kind of player also has an extremely stable three-pointer, then they can definitely work hard in the direction of Rashard Lewis.  Omikabis is obviously a player with this quality, so it is a relatively good choice for the Kings to select him.  The arrival of Omikabis can also make up for the shortcomings of the Kings' offensive ability at the third position to a large extent.  After the Kings selected Omikabis, the other picks were quickly announced, and this year's draft has almost come to an end. After all, most of the rookies were not present in the selection of second-round picks.  Therefore, it is only the league's vice president who announces the list of these people on Stern's behalf.  In the second round, the Kings became the first team to select a player. They needed to choose a second-round No. 1 pick, and Petrie gave the decision to Zhang Weifeng.  Zhang Weifeng took the list of the remaining 28 undrafted players. After a brief thought, Zhang Weifeng chose Sam Young.  This was the Kings' last choice in the 2009 draft. Sam Young was a violent small forward from Clinton, Maryland. His physical condition was the best among this year's rookies, so Zhang Weifeng selected him with the first pick in the second round.  chose him.  Zhang Weifeng did not discuss this decision with Petrie.  In Zhang Weifeng's view, the 24-year-old Sam Young can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA immediately, but he is too old. Although he does not have much potential, his maturity will allow him to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA immediately.  Being able to play at his own level, with his length and athleticism, as well as his defensive ability, is what the Kings need.  Soon, the draft was over, and the last remaining player was Lester Hudson, and the Kings had no choice but to bring this combo guard into the Kings roster.  (To be continued)
