5 games into the season watching the pelicans i was thinkin the same thing. 6 months later, nothings changed. :francis:

I used to think he was just a guy who made bone headed decisions and had tunnel vision. but dude straight up can't make a layup or hit a meaningful freethrow.

Everytime he has the ball i literally have the :francis: face in anticipation.

That's Tyreke Evans game in a nutshell. Dude has no problem getting to the rim... But once he gets there

:francis: :snoop:

Am I lying?
That's actually the formula for multiple players on the Pelicans, at least from what I saw tonight and about a dozen of their games I watched throughout the season. Norris Cole. Eric Gordon. Pondexter. Even Anthony Davis will throw up some bullshyt if you put good defense on him.

He's a big guard who hasn't really improved since he came into the league.

To be fair he spent his first 3 or 4 years with a really dysfunctional franchise.

Their offense sucks.

Monty will put all these dudes on the floor that like driving to the rack, and then only have 1 3PT shooter out there with them. THen they'll drive and try and kick when they don't put up some wild ass layup attempt and the dude they passing it to is cutting because they suck at spot up shooting and the pass sails out of bounds

:francis:

Let's stay on topic tho

Tyreke Evans has the GOAT and WOAT drive to the basket game in all of basketball. It's to the point now that I'm actually surprised if his shot isn't blocked or a brick when he's 5 feet within the rim.

He has a great first step, great euro move..but too bad he is trash at finishing and shooting. If he puts in work during Summer, he can be good again

What's even worse, is ppl still run at him when he's at the 3pt line. Like, all dude can do is get to the rim, he can't shoot a lick, yet ppl still run at him out there, allowing him to penetrate.

HE. CAN'T. SHOOT! LET. HIM. SHOOT!
