http://www.bourbonstreetshots.com/2014/04/28/season-in-review-tyreke-evans/ On July 5th, 2013, the New Orleans Pelicans acquired guard Tyreke Evans from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, also sending Robin Lopez to the Portland Trailblazers to make room for Evans’ brand new 4 year, $44 million contract. The move was the second big trade executed by GM Dell Demps, agreed to just over a week after the Pelicans’ draft day trade for Jrue Holiday. In conjunction, the moves signaled a clear change of direction for this New Orleans franchise, quickly shifting away from the “patient rebuild” model to one of a relatively unique nature. Demps and his staff moved to piece together a team of “young veterans” – players who were young and talented, but were not new to the league. More importantly, Dell wanted players who could grow together as a core while still maintaining the ability to move a piece didn’t end up fitting for someone who would. For the first month or two of the 2013-14 NBA season, Tyreke Evans struggled with inconsistency, seemingly unable to get into any sort of rhythm. As a result, speculation was rampant in regards to whether or not the contract was a good idea. At season’s end, there are still some around the league who question the signing, but those who have watched Tyreke closely are much less skeptical. Without further adieu, let’s dive into the good and bad associated with Evans’ play this season. 以上重覆的东西就不在翻了。 Where He Started The Pelicans dealt for Evans following a peculiar first four years in the NBA with the Kings. After winning the 2009-10 Rookie of the Year Award with averages of 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per 36 minutes, he regressed considerably in his sophomore season. From that point, he gradually improved in the subsequent two seasons, achieving his highest true shooting percentage of his career during his last season in Sacramento (though inflated by an unusually high 3-point percentage). When looking at Tyreke Evans’ four seasons there, one thing that stands out is his overall performance based on where he takes his shots (courtesy of basketball-reference.com): http://0rz.tw/4UOlV <- reke历年来PER的列表 If you order Evans’ first four seasons from best to worst based on PER, you’ ll also end up ordering them based on the percentage of shots he attempts at the rim. Though not a big surprise given his skill set, it paints a pretty accurate picture in regards to what Evans needs to do in this league to be most successful (keep this in mind for later). On that note, let’s take a look at some of the numbers Tyreke put up this season. 依照PER由最好到最差来排列，可以发现和依照他在篮框的命中率来排是一样的。虽然这 并不令人惊讶，但也在在说明了reke该怎麽做才会更上层楼。 2013-14 Advanced Stats When presenting Evans’ statistical output, it simply cannot be done without showing his production both from a starting and bench role (all data from the NBA’s media stats tool except for PER, which came from ESPN). Early on in Tyreke’s first season in New Orleans, he often struggled to get into any sort of rhythm, and the numbers back up that assessment. He was below average for his position in most statistical categories apart from rebounding (his rebounding will come up again later). However, after entering the starting lineup – largely out of necessity due to injuries – Evans began to flourish. Despite seeing more minutes against the opposition’s best talent while playing alongside the same level of talent as before or worse (again, thanks to injuries), his eFG and TS% shot up about 10% each, and experienced no significant drop-off in any other category. On a per-36 minute basis, he went from scoring 17.4 points on 16.2 shots (1.07 PPP) all the way up to 20.3 points on 15.5 shots (1.31 PPP). http://bourbonstreetshots.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Adv.-Stats.jpg 同样在说明替补时和先发时的数据以及差距。 2013-14 Season Strengths Shot Selection Tyreke Evans’ poor shooting has been a hot topic around the league this year, from NBA bloggers all the way to Grantland. It is true, Evans has been a very bad shooter this season; however, unlike many who refuse to admit it (hi, Josh Smith!), he knows that it is true. Here is a shot chart that you won ’t often see, and it is arguably more telling than his overall shooting percentage: reke投射差不是什麽新闻，但他也很勇於承认，所以他都在他擅长的地方投篮。 http://0rz.tw/GGBW3 <-投射位置比例的图 That’s right, folks; 75.7 PERCENT of Tyreke’s field goal attempts this season came within five feet from the rim. Fast forward to only the games that Evans started, and that number increases even further to around 78%. Even more impressive is the fact that, despite A) opponents knowing how much Tyreke struggles with his jumper and B) how often he played alongside teammates with similar shooting deficiencies, he was still able to get to the rim so frequently. His knack for getting into the paint while still maintaining the discipline to stick with what he is good at is a rare combination in this league, and one that he should be able to build on with a healthy Pelicans lineup creating more space for him to operate. 将近有75.5%是五尺内，当先发时，爬升到78%左右。更让人印象深刻的是，就算人家都知 道他投篮很烂，而且他的队友也都有同样的问题，但还是能来去自如。 Rebounding Though an area of his game that was not often discussed this season, Tyreke Evans’ rebounding is not something that can be overlooked. Evans posted career highs in both offensive and defensive rebound rates with the Pelicans, using his superior athleticism to get around bigger players to collect misses. 很多人都忽略了他这个方面，但reke的篮板能力实在是抢眼到没办法忽视。本季他在进攻 以及防守篮板率方面都是新高，用他超群的运动能力来跟更高大的球员抢篮板。 Per HoopData, the historical averages for rebound rates among guards (Evans’ main role once entering the starting lineup) are about 2.5% for ORR, 10% for DRR, and 6.3% for TRR; Evans finished well above each of those numbers as a starter with a 4.8% ORR, 13.0% DRR, and 8.9% TRR. Even if you switch from guards to swingmen (the role that Evans started the season filling off the bench), the typical league averages only increase to about 4%, 12%, and 8% respectively; Tyreke matched this offensive rebound rate off the bench, but far surpassed that defensive rebound rate at 16.7%. 根据HoopData，後卫篮板率的历史平均是进攻篮板率2.5%，防守篮板率是10%，全部6.3% ；reke在先发时每个都高於平均，4.8%进攻篮板率，13%防守篮板率，全部8.9%。就算是 算後卫群转变成锋线，联盟平均也是4%、12%和8%，reke当替补时在进攻篮板是差不多， 但防守篮板是远远超过的16.7% Though the Ryan Anderson & Anthony Davis front court pairing provides major offensive upside, one of its weaknesses is defensive rebounding. In future lineups in which Evans plays alongside the floor spacing that those two provide, his effort on the defensive glass will be even more important. Ryno和AD的特点就在於进攻，防守篮板则是弱点，当reke以後要和这两位搭配，那他在 防守篮板的作用更相形重要。 Offensive Decision-Making Tyreke Evans entered the NBA as a score-first point guard, often struggling to get his teammates going. In his first season with New Orleans, Evans appeared uncomfortable in his role off the bench, eventually finding his groove in the starting lineup. Yes, the ease with which he gets to the rim is his best NBA skill, but what many have overlooked is his decision-making ability with the ball in his hands. Per the NBA’s player tracking data, Evans ranked 3rd in the NBA in drives per game with 10.1, and the Pelicans scored 1.17 points per possession on those drives, an efficient source of offense even though his conversion rate on those drives was only 45.1%. reke进联盟时被视为是得分优先控卫，常常会没办法让队友融入进攻。在纽奥良最後先 发时终於找到节奏。没错，切入是他最棒的技能，但很多人都忽略了当球在他手中时他 做决定的能力。根据NBA的资料，reke以每场切入10.1次排名第三，而鹈鹕在这些切入当 中每回合得了1.17分，是非常有效率的得分来源。 What may be an even more impressive finding from that player tracking data, though, is his success rate when he passes. Among the top 50 NBA players in assists per game (Tyreke is 40th), he ranks 4th in the percentage of his passes that result in assists (total assists / total passes) at 14.9%, behind only Stephen Curry, Ty Lawson, and Chris Paul. Even when Evans fails to convert inside, he realizes that this choice often provides his team with the greatest chance to score, whether it is him or a teammate like Anthony Davis on the offensive glass. If he sees someone else while attacking who has a better chance to score, he’ll dish it off to that player. 从资料中发现更令人印象深刻的就是当他传球时的成功率。在助攻数最多的前50名球员当 中(reke排第40)，他在传球出手形成助攻的比率(全部的助攻/全部的传球)为14.9%，排名 第4，只低於Curry、泰劳和CP3。就算当reke没办法往内传时，他了解到这个选择能够让 他的球队有更好的得分机会，像是他或队友(譬如AD)常常能抢到进攻板。当他在进攻时看 到队友有更好的得分机会，那他就会传给那位球员。 “East-to-West” Defense Though not typically respected for his defense, Tyreke Evans showed excellent lateral mobility on defense this season, despite other more team-focused measures that may indicate otherwise. Given all of the Pelicans’ injuries this season, using individual numbers may paint a better picture with a one-season sample size. Per SynergySports, Evans was an above average defender in both isolation and P&R ball-handler situations, as well as one of the best in the league in handoff plays. Things get a bit more dicey when he is matched up against shooters, but when Evans is one-on-one with the task of preventing his man from getting to the rim, he often succeeds. 虽然通常人都不会讲到他的防守，但reke本季防守展现非常好的横移能力。因为鹈鹕本季 的伤兵状况，用个人的数字会比全队的来的好。根据SynergySports，reke在单防以及挡拆 防守持球者方面是高於平均，在handoff方面是全联盟最好之一。但当对到射手时就有点麻 烦，不过在一对一时reke总是能够防止进攻球员往里面切。 2013-14 Season Weaknesses Perimeter Shooting I’m just going to leave this here… http://0rz.tw/uD1k1 <-投篮位置命中率图 So, yeah, needless to say… no bueno. Though Evans has demonstrated the ability to get to the rim with such frequency despite his poor shooting, it would certainly help his cause if he could improve his jumpshot and force defenders to respect him from distance. Given his consistency from the free throw line – he has converted between 77% and 78% of his free throws for the past four seasons now – it stands to reason that Evans could develop a more respectable jumper. Unfortunately, that shot has never presented itself on a consistent basis. If Tyreke could become even an average jump shooter, it would do wonders for both his room to operate individually as well as overall floor spacing for his team. Fortunately, Evans is so talented that he is a very effective player even without this weapon in his arsenal, but there is no question that improving this area of his game would be incredibly beneficial. 没什麽好说的，他最大的弱点就是投篮。虽然reke已经证明就算没有投篮，他还是能够 想切就切，但还是认为如果改善投篮会有一定的帮助。而且他过去四季的罚球率在77%到 78%之间，证明reke是能够有好的跳投的，不幸的是到目前为止还没发生过。 Finishing at the Rim As presented in the shot chart above, there is no question that Tyreke Evans converted at the rim at a below-average rate. While his below-average conversion rate from the restricted area is frustrating, this shortcoming certainly cannot be attributed just to him; playing alongside Greg Stiemsma and Al-Farouq Aminu doesn’t exactly encourage defenders to leave the paint. In fact, take a look at the Pelicans’ worst 3-man lineup with at least 100 minutes played together (via NBA.com’s media stats tool): 上面的图表显示，reke在篮框周围的命中率是低於联盟平均的，但这并不能单算在他身上 ，但和Stiemsma以及Aminu一起在场上时，防守者是不会想要离开禁区的。 http://0rz.tw/MlMfJ <--死亡三人组的数据图 The Pelicans got outscored by 33.4 POINTS per 100 possessions with those three players on the court together; for what it’s worth, that lineup was also the worst 3-man lineup in the ENTIRE NBA with at least 150 minutes played this season. Conversely, take a look at the Pelicans’ top 10 most effective two-man pairings with at least 200 minutes played together: 当这三人同时在场上时，每100回合对手比鹈鹕多得33.4分，这三人组也是全NBA至少打了 150分钟的3人组合中最烂的一组。换个方面来看，鹈鹕前十最有效率的双人组合(至少一起 打了200分钟) http://0rz.tw/z5Bhl Tyreke Evans shows up twice. With who? Luke Babbitt and Ryan Anderson, far and away the best two perimeter shooting big men on the team. Despite the fact that both players are below average defensively (that is putting it lightly in Babbitt’s case), the Pelicans outscored opponents by a sizable margin when Evans played with stretch 4s. The data is there: front court players who can stretch the defense away from the paint give Evans more room to attack, and as a result, the team operates far more efficiently. Ultimately, a combination of Evans improving his jumper and playing with more shooters should make Evans a devastating threat with the ball in his hands, but even one of those two changes would make a big difference. reke占了两名，和谁呢？Luke Babbit和Ryno。两个队中最好的长人射手。尽管两个人的 防守都低於平均，但鹈鹕在reke搭配射手4号时还是得分比对手多不少。也就是说如果前 场能够投外线，拉防守者到外围让reke能够进攻，整个球队的运作会非常有效率。当然如 果他也能够改善他的投篮会更好，但就算只有其中之一也会有很大的不同。 “North-to-South” Defense Though Tyreke typically stayed in front of his man, he didn’t always stay close enough to him. Evans defended spot-up shooters more than any other type of offensive possession and rated below average in this regard, allowing a point per possession. In his defense, these looks were sometimes a result of an effective screen, and giving up a jumper is typically better than allowing a shot at the rim. That being said, Evans’ decision-making process in terms of when to sag off of his man has room to improve; he is one of the best athletes in the NBA, and should feel comfortable relying more on his athleticism when defending some of the better shooters in this league. 虽然reke都能留在进攻者前面，但他通常都离太远。reke防守定点射手的机会比其他类型 还多，但他在这方面是低於联盟平均。有时候看起来是好的单挡使得有好的投篮机会，而 且让他投总比让他切好。也就是说reke在贴人的选择上有很大的进步空间，他有NBA最好 的体能之一，如果能够多运用他的体能会更好。 Summary In many ways, the 2013-14 season was a learning experience for all those involved with the new-look New Orleans Pelicans. Tyreke Evans is a unique talent, and like many NBA players, his effectiveness depends to a large extent on how he is utilized. Coach Monty Williams has now seen Evans in multiple roles for his team, and there should be little controversy in regards to how he can be most effective. Yes, improving his shooting touch and playing with a higher degree of defensive awareness will make him an even greater asset to this Pelicans team, but potentially even more important is deploying Evans in the right role with the right teammates. Surrounding Tyreke with shooters, especially in the front court, will allow him to utilize his biggest strength more effectively. Playing him alongside Jrue Holiday, another play-making guard with even stronger passing skills, will give opposing defenses headaches trying to stop two ball handlers who create so well for themselves and others. With a fully healthy New Orleans roster next season (knock on all the wood you can possibly find), Tyreke Evans will be playing with more talent than ever, and as a result, there is good reason to expect him to have his best NBA season to date. reke是个独一无二的球员，端视怎麽去用他。Monty已经看过他在各个角色的表现，也会 在怎麽用他方面有些争议。的确改善他的投篮以及防守会对鹈鹕更好，但更重要的是让 reke在对的角色搭配对的队友，让reke和射手搭，尤其是前场的，将会让他的长处更有 效率地发挥，让他和Jrue搭，另一个有更好传球技巧的後卫，将会让对手头疼。当鹈鹕 全员健康时，预期reke有更好的表现是很合理的 ============================================================================= 总结： 进攻很棒，尤其是在和长人射手搭的时候。篮板很棒。很愿意传球而且效果都很 不错，就算没传也会因为他冲乱了防守阵势，让球队有抢进攻板的机会。防守很 不错，但在面对射手时有很大的进步空间。 教练怎麽用他很重要，用的烂就很烂。 --
