True true, he deserves ROTY but the NBA hypes up BJ and he gets all the publicity. Ive watched all of the kings games too. There looking real goodI cannot wait to see the get back in to the playoffs. My friend is friends with some king players and the call Tyreke "pops' because of his IQ. Hedoes have the mentality of a veteran. He has changed his shot a lot from that palm ball to a better form and his shooting is improving. Both Thomp and him needto start unleashing more at some times it seems like they are too shy to dunk it. They just need one free agent pickup and a good pick in 2010 and they will bea contender.Originally Posted by swizzc
Coming from someone who has watched every single Kings game this year, I can give you a pretty good idea of where Reke is headed as a player in this league.
First off, this dude WILL win rookie of the year, no doubt in my mind. You can take that to the bank.
Tyreke has an incredible knack for getting to the rim. The guy can literally take ANYONE off the dribble and get to the hoop, and he'd only been in the league for 6 weeks. His jumper is getting better by the game (this is coming from consistantly working on it every day after practice with Pete Carrill, who said this guy literally has no ceiling as a player). Already he is the BEST defender on the Kings, and his basketball IQ is off the charts for a 20 year old.
A big area for improvement I see for Tyreke is his finishing ability around the rim. Because of the aformentioned lack of total explosiveness, Tyreke usually doesn't dunkw hen finishing a play. This leads him to miss 1-2 easy layups a game which he should be finishing on. If he can get this problem worked out (its a problem that Jason Thompson has a well) and also work on improving his mid-range/threball, the kid will literally be unstopabble.
Go Kings, %#%* the Lakers.
