Losing Tyreke Evans is a tough loss for New Orleans, as it removes the second ball-handler out of New Orleans' rotation. Neither Norris Cole nor Toney Douglas can operate an offense like Evans, nor can they dissect an opposing defense. There's no doubt that Evans' 15.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists will be missed.
