According to Alvin Gentry, the Pelicans are going to consistently run in his first season as the head coach. That potentially would have meant big things for the team's original point guard, Jrue Holiday, but with the team wisely monitoring his minutes for an indefinite period of time, the responsibility now shifts to Tyreke Evans.
Fortunately for Evans, he has experience in the uptempo department. In Sacramento, the Kings finished in the top 10 in pace in all four of his seasons. The problem, though, was that he normally functioned as a guard, not the point guard.
