If the Clippers aren't that good, neither are the Rockets. *evil smile*

Both free agents after next year
What do you mean? If you look at raw per game stats you would say he has regressed, but anyone who actually has seen him play would say otherwise.CameronCrazy06 said:Nola why does Tyreke Evans continue to regress
Tyreke Evans to the New Orleans Pelicans
When the Pelicans announced the Evans signing, the first area of concern for many was the sheer size of his contract: $44 million over four years. While this sum was definitely a tad more generous than my valuation, the bigger question was how he would fit with two other ball-dominant guards in Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon. The answer so far: not so well.
Evans is shooting a career low 41 percent from the field and has made exactly two 3-pointers all season. When it comes to the guard triumvirate, he is the runt of the litter, averaging less than 25 minutes per game versus 32 and 35 minutes per game for Gordon and Holiday, respectively. In clutch situations (last five minutes, +/- five points), he's played less than half of the available minutes and performed poorly.
Evans was brought in to play a Manu Ginobili-like role off the bench, but the Pelicans have struggled to integrate him in such a way where he is productive and helping the team. Part of my concern with the Evans deal in the offseason was whether the Pelicans would be able to find harmony among the three guards, and if not, would it start to cause a strain on the team if success was not immediate. That hasn't happened yet, but it is definitely a situation to keep an eye on as New Orleans currently occupies the 12th spot in the Western Conference.
