by Tom ZillerFiled under: NBA DraftOn Tuesday, 18-year-old Pennsylvanian Jamar Evans was sentenced nine to 20 years in prison for the drive-by shooting murder of 19-year-old Marcus Reason. Today, Evan's cousin -- Memphis stand-out Tyreke Evans -- will be made a lottery pick in the NBA Draft.As we know all too well, many professional athletes have relatives who commit heinous crimes. This almost always says nothing the athletes. But there's a twist in this case, one which doesn't implicate Tyreke but pops your eyes wide open: when Jamar Evans shot and killed Reason, Tyreke Evans was his driver.Tyreke Evans' Red Flag: A Cousin's Murder Plea originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:33:00 EDT .

Per a report from Tom Ziller on NBA Fanhouse, Memphis guard (and expected Top 5 NBA Draft pick tonight) was involved in a murder investigation in which his cousion received 9-20 years for a drive by shooting yesterday.

To help you get a better idea of what some of tomorrow's projected top NBA Draft picks are capable of, I'll be posting some highlight reels from YouTube. Next is Tyreke Evans, the 19-year-old from Memphis. The clip comes from Playstationshow who, as you'll see in the video, thinks Evans is headed to the T'Wolves. So do a lot of others.

Pray That Your Team Takes Tyreke

Via Dime  |  June 24, 2009
I had the privilege - and it definitely was a privilege - of watching Tyreke Evans work out in Minnesota along with our boy Jonny Flynn, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, Jrue Holiday and Jeff Teague. I was a fan of ‘Reke’s at Memphis, particularly after President Obama endorsed his game when making NCAA tourney predictions. [...]

Have the Kings Soured on Rubio?

Via SLAM Online  |  June 24, 2009
The general feeling in Sac-town appears to be that Ricky’s draft stock has dropped: “With Thursday’s draft drawing near and the Kings’ workout schedule having been completed with Ricky Rubio’s visit Monday, the deliberating about the team’s No. 4 pick continued internally. And while their list of top candidates is believed to include Rubio, Memphis...

POSSIBLE PICKS FOR KNICKS AT NO. 8

Via The New York Post  |  June 25, 2009
The Knicks, wrecked by Minnesota dealing for Washington's fifth pick, are not going to win the Ricky Rubio sweepstakes. Memphis point guard Tyreke Evans, whom the Knicks rate almost as high, should be gone when the Knicks pick at No. 8. Same for...

The Kings Get It Right

Via Deadspin  |  June 25, 2009
Sacramento Kings: Tyreke Evans, Memphis. A great pick for the Kings who went with the best player available. Evans already attacks the rim like a pro, and he's already built like a beast. He may not be Dwayne Wade, but there are certainly some similarities on the offensive end. Down the road I think he could be the best player out of this draft, meaning that he will probably...

Across the board, Kings agree Evans is best choice

Via Sacbee  |  June 26, 2009
The Kings didn't draft the conventional, creative point guard, the charismatic Spaniard who would have spurred season-ticket sales and whose presence immediately would have addressed the club's most glaring deficiency: someone to pass the ball to everyone else. So this is a lousy pick, right? Combo guard Tyreke Evans instead of Ricky Rubio? Instead of Jonny Flynn or Stephen...

Making history has become commonplace for the University of Memphis basketball program the past few seasons, and Thursday night, it made a little more when the Sacramento Kings selected the Tigers' Tyreke Evans with the No. 4 overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft.

Big roar as Kings select Tyreke Evans

Via newsday.com  |  June 25, 2009
The Sacramento Kings just selected Memphis guard Tyreke Evans with the fourth pick. A huge roar erupted here. Evans appears to be a big fan favorite inside the Garden. Anyhow, with James Harden going third to Oklahoma City and Evans going fourth to Sacramento, the Knicks could be in good shape for Stephen Curry at No. 8. We'll see. Golden State likes Curry.

A Final Guess at the NBA Draft Lottery

Via The Big Lead  |  June 25, 2009
Last minute stab at a mock lottery. Mock (ha!) us later when only two of these are correct. 1. LA Clippers - Blake Griffin, Oklahoma 2. Memphis - Hasheem Thabeet, Connecticut. 3. Oklahoma City - Ricky Rubio, Spain 4. Sacramento - Tyreke Evans, Memphis 5. Minnesota - Stephen Curry, Davidson [Poor guy. Enjoy the Mall of America.] 6. Minnesota - James [...]
