The NBA can’t quit Tyreke Evans.
He has put together a seven-year career with two franchises and perennially underwhelmed. After scoring 20 points per game as a rookie with Sacramento in 2009-10 — drawing comparisons to LeBron James — Evans has failed to top the 18-point barrier since. He often tried to become a three-point shooter as the league shifted around him, to once again underwhelming success. Evans is, at this point in his career, more of an idea than an effective player. He is the 6-6 point guard who should be able to control games on both ends but has never found the necessary consistency.
