I mean, 20-5-5, that's so tidy you can put it in your pocket like a handful of posies. Only 19 players averaged 20+ points per game this season. Only five players managed to average five rebounds and five assists per game. Tyreke is, as you well know, one of only three players to manage both, joining (near-)unanimous MVP LeBron James and former MVP Kobe Bryant.

On the court, Evans is the team's best player, no disputing it, no question. He has faults, as do all players (not named LeBron). He still can't shoot very well, hitting just 79 of 250 long two-pointers and 36 of 141 threes. Of course, he knows this, and took a ridiculous 59 percent of his two-point attempts in the paint, despite the fact that by Hanukkah every team he faced set up their defense to prevent that.

His defense, rife with potential, isn't quite there — despite his strength, he had trouble fighting through screens, and isn't the most enthusiastic defender when it comes to chasing shooters. He still got into a lot of passing lanes, still has unbelievable make-up speed, still pokes away crossover attempts like he's a ninja swatting flies. Ask Gilbert Arenas.
