You don't have to be a Holiday defender to hate the way Tyreke runs the offense much of the time. He makes Joel yell at him to hurry up and get it across the 8 second line at least once per game, and you really saw at the start of game 4 how much the offense bogs down when Tyreke is running the offense but not attacking. Tyreke PnRs are nice, Tyreke dribbling the shot clock down while teammates try and fail to get open, well lets just say he's not CP3. He has complained about how much trouble learning the playbook is twice this season, so I'm really not sure how much improvement we can expect other than hoping his outside shot improves.

I still want to see him as 6th man wrecking ball and not starting PG.

You can also tell the difference between how cole runs the offense too.

Jrue faces the same problems when he's running the offense. He dribbles down the clock A LOT too and settles for his own fair share of shitty shot choices. Maybe it's the inability for their teammates to get open or just a terrible offensive scheme.

Evans is 2nd only to Davis when it comes to positively impacting the team's offensive rating this year while he is on the floor. Says something to me.

Ive knocked Evans a ton in the past, but he was a different player running the point this season. I am not judging him on his whole body of work while in NOLA. He's just bred to play with the ball in his hands and is more effective, imo.
