New Orleans Pelicans Rank Number 2: Tyreke Evans

The number 2 player in our New Orleans Pelicans Rank is Tyreke Evans. In his time in New Orleans, Tyreke has electrified the fans with his freakish finishes and his penchant for the putting the ball in his teammates’ hands for easy buckets. Starting his career in Sacramento after being drafted fourth overall out of the University of Memphis, Tyreke Evans exploded on to the NBA landscape averaging an incredible 19.5 points, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals as a rookie. The reward for his excellence was the coveted Rookie of the Year award. Since then, Tyreke Evans has struggled to find a role, been forced to change positions, and has been called a disappointment.
