A potential small forward who cannot shoot behind the arc. Is that really what the New Orleans Pelicans need? That is the first question that will be asked if the Pelicans are connected to Boston Celtics free agent Evan Turner. A better question in my opinion, is why are we only focused on offense (and shooting threes) when talking about adding a free agent? New Orleans was not a great offense last year (16th in ORtg) but defense (28th in DRtg) is what is really needed. Defensive versatility and filing in the cracks is what Evan Turner could provide; exactly what New Orleans lacks on the wings right now.
