No.58
Tyreke Evans
Pelicans | Forward | Last year: 84
Tyreke Evans plays as if there is a tractor beam pulling him towards the rim
at all times. Unfortunately, the basketball is always a part of this magnetic
tug, and that’s where he gets into a few problems. “Attack mode” is his way
of life, whether he’s running the offense out of high pick-and-rolls,
isolating against a defender on the perimeter or taking off in transition.
Standing 6’6” and thickly-built, the 25-year-old Evans prefers risking the
possibility of a low-percentage shot in traffic, an offensive foul, or a wild
runner in hopes that his forays will exhaust or overwhelm defenders and create
quality inside-out looks for his teammates.
Tyreke Evans打的就像是有光束(外星人飛船那種光束)把他拉向籃下。然而球處於這種
磁鐵效應下，他面對到一些問題。"進攻模式"是他生活的宗旨，無論是高位的P&R還是在中
距離單打對方防守者，還是轉換快攻。這個6'6的25歲體格很壯的Evans喜歡冒這這些風險:
干擾下低命中率投籃、進攻犯規、不合理的騎馬射箭。他期望用往籃下突襲使對方防
守者疲勞，來為隊友創造inside-out傳導的機會。
That approach worked fairly well last year, on balance, as Evans stepped into
greater ball-handling and offense-initiating responsibility after the loss of
Jrue Holiday to injury. Although Evans is hardly a natural point guard, he’s
comfortable with the ball in his hands, and his downhill style makes him a
constant threat in pick-and-rolls. It wasn’t always pretty and it was
occasionally frustrating to watch: his locomotive approach left him making
just 52.9 percent of his shots in the basket area, he struggled more than
most to finish plays in transition, and he never grasped that he was one of the
NBA’s least reliable clutch shooters while teammate Anthony Davis was one of
the NBA’s most reliable. Despite his blinders, Evans led the Pelicans in
assists and he was one of just six minutes-qualified players in the NBA to
average 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in 2014-15. This wasn’t
empty stat-stuffing: New Orleans finished with a top-10 offense and the Pelican
s’ offensive rating improved by 6.5 points when he took the court. As an
emergency back-up plan, Evans as lead guard worked out swimmingly.
這樣的做法去年效果不錯，而且在Jrue Holiday受傷後他的持球進攻、發動進攻的責任變
更大。即使他很難扮演好一個純控衛，他持球的技巧、下盤的技巧讓他成為P&R的穩定威脅
。然而這不是每次都很成功，有時候看起來很慘，他往籃下衝，籃下的命中率卻只有52.9%
，他很不擅長完成一個play，他還搞清楚他是現在NBA中其中一個不值得信賴的關鍵射手，
當他的隊友Anthony Davis是其中一個最值得信賴的射手。
他是聯盟中唯六符合列入統計標準(58場球2000分鐘) {其實 15-5-5總共只有七個，唯一
不minutes-qualified的是Kobe Bryant}球員並繳出15分5籃板5助攻。
這不是指無聊的數據，鵜鶘攻擊成為聯盟前十，並且當他在場的時候攻擊指數提高了
6.5分，身為一個備用的球員，他後衛身分當得不錯。
Holiday’s expected return brings serious questions for Evans, who has started
for the bulk of his six year career but was used primarily as a sixth man
during the 2013-14 season. A return to the bench makes sense for a number of
reasons. First, Evans isn’t the world’s most sophisticated defender,
although he is zealous on the ball, and Holiday grades out much better on that
end. Second, Evans and Holiday are both used to having the ball, so it would
make sense to space their minutes to avoid redundancies and keep a lead guard
in the game at all times. Finally, Evans isn’t much of an outside shooter,
so trying to play him off the ball alongside Holiday isn’t ideal from a
spacing standpoint, especially if Eric Gordon is available.
Holiday的回歸造成很大的問題，Evans過去六年都是以先發出發，只有2013年是以第六人
出發，回歸到板凳是很合理的。
第一，他不是個尖端的防守者，雖然他很愛追著球防守。但是Holiday能做得比他好很多。
第二，他們兩個都是持球進攻型的，所以要分開他們的上場時間，避免碰撞並且讓場上一
直有一個領導者。
最後，Evans不是一個好的外圍射手，所以他不是定點等Holiday傳球，這點Eric Gordon
則可以做到。
Perhaps new coach Alvin Gentry, who arrives from Golden State, will view
Evans fitting into an Andre Iguodala-like role that would give him free reign
over the second unit and put his play-making ability to greater use. If that’s
how it plays out, look for Evans, who won the 2010 Rookie of the Year award
in Sacramento, to be in the discussion for the 2016 Sixth Man of the Year
award. – B.G.
