Tyreke Evans to Represent Kings at NBA Draft Lottery

by Tom Ziller on Apr 17, 2010 6:15 AM PDT in NBA Draft

Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee reports Tyreke Evans will be the Kings' on-camera representative at the NBA draft lottery May 18 in New Jersey. For those looking to divine our finishing spot after No. 4 Chris Webber "won" us the No. 4 pick last year, I'm going with "the average of 1 and 3 is 2."

Here's a quick look at who represented lottery winners in the last few years.

2009: L.A. Clippers -- Neil Olshey, a suit with a bad suit
2008: Chicago Bulls -- Steve Schanwald, a suit
2007: Portland Trail Blazers -- Brandon Roy, reigning Rookie of the Year
2006: Toronto Raptors -- Bryan Colangelo, a suit with a well-tailored suit
2005: Milwaukee Bucks -- Larry Harris, a suit
2004: Orlando Magic -- Pat Williams, a suit
2003: Cleveland Cavaliers -- Gordon Gund, a suit
2002: Houston Rockets -- Steve Francis, All-Star guard
2001: Washington Wizards -- Rod Higgins, a suit

Good

I’m glad Tyreke is going to represent the Kings in public. He needs work at that actually, and going to Secaucus isn’t that far away from his family in Chester and surrounding area’s.

Time for Reke to spend some of his money on a nice tailored suit.

Kfan has the fastest net.

Pookey has the most redundant. :)

Tanking? I don't know what you're talking about, tanking. I'm just losing more efficiently.

Of course he has a suit.

I am talking about a polished look like D-Wade would present.

Sorry

But style is not something learned. Style is something you either have or don’t. Then again, I don’t care what Dwyane Wade wears either.

SBN error.

Sometimes I hit a comment and it doesn’t show up initially. I hit post again and sometimes it does. You go back and realize it’s a double post.

Unfortunately it happens to me a lot.

get this kid as much national coverage as possible. I think he would genuinely be interested in representing us anyway.

I wonder how Stern is going to fix the lottery machine so that Kings end up 13th.

Maybe he will give us both 1 and 3...

to make up for past screwings. Call it the “Game 6 Rule”. Now there is a question for the masses, what if you got two of the top 4- Wall and Cousins? Favors and Turner? Cousins and Favors!?!?

STOP IT

Just STOP RIGHT THERE. DON’T GO FORWARD. PUT THIS THOUGHT DOWN, slowly, and just WALK AWAY. YOU are dealing with a HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE thought process, one that WILL end in tears, bloodshed, and inevetible questions from our daughters: “When is daddy coming home.” So, slowly, carefully, put it on the ground, then back away – keep backing up, reach for the door handle, and exit the room. This room will be quarantined, and we shall never speak of it again.

I think we end up picking

1 or 3. Or as Ziller said 2 the average or 4 the sum or 3 the product. So, I figure us for a top 4. We should send Tiny Archibald.

Tyreke's poker face

His reaction will be the same if we get the first or the sixth pick. Luckily John Wall, alone, is expressive enough for the entire backcourt.

"the average of 1 and 3 is 2"

that would be awesome. number 2 is going to be a great player. hell, let’s send Mitch Richmond along with Tyreke for some extra luck. (damn it’d be cool to see a prime Mitch vs a prime Tyreke)

put me in, Coach

You forgot... the worst the Kings can pick is 6th.

I think this is just another example of selfish Tyreke is and how his teammates dislike playing with him

Curry is the RoY he should be the one to go

Wait one frealing minute here . . .

Are you suggesting Reke is not a lottery representative? NaLR

He is going to get the ball before Stern and not let him have it back, just call it the #1

maybe the warriors will send Curry to the draft

but Tyreke’s balls are bigger than Curry’s

But Curry's balls have dents in them so Stern knows to grab them...

They were tied for 2nd, you are right. They lost the coin flip, but they still had a better chance at #1 than Kings do this year.

The GSW pick Eavn Turner!! With the No. 6 pick the Kings select Cole Aldridge! NICE!!

We must approach this species carefully, ladies and gentleman

Doofus idiotas, while not a poisonous creature per se, has been known to randomly engage otherwise unsuspecting victims. Now, blimey, I know you think to yourself: “It doesn’t look that dangerous, look how simple it is.” Some would say stupidly simple, yes. But I must warn you, dear viewers out there, that lurking within this creature is a ferocious beast that can only cause harm and destruction where it goes. It’s a parasite that chooses its host, locking in on something with characteristics it yearns for, then latches on till the host can do nothing but yammer in circles with delirious rage. The neurotoxin released by the idiotas is quite a cunning inception: it convinces the host that salvation is within short reach, if by just a few more steps the parasite can be talked into leaving and the host can return to life, normal and unhindered.
See ladies and gentleman, this is why we must be careful in our approach. I do this here for science and your understanding, but if you come across one of these in the wild, I highly recommend you walk away, circling around it to return your path. These are wild creatures, and you do not want to tempt fate by barging head on into one of these things: that’s exactly what they’re waiting for you to do. So, ladies and gentleman, I approach this one hidden within a shroud of metaphors. You see, I try to interact with it without directly calling it by name, masking my interest in it. This way, I am merely part of the environment and not… oh God… oh God no… it’s looking at me, IT’S LOOKING AT ME, oh GOD NO, RUN, RUN GUYS RUNNNNNNNNNN
