Naji has the potential to be everything we needed (but didn't get) out of Tyreke Evans

I don't think he'll ever be a player who we can rely on in every game, but I do think his potential continues to be on the rise (obviously).

A great undrafted contributor who's only gotten better each season. Role player for years to come but maybe could approach 6th MOY type of talent.

Go Pels!

I was just thinking he reminded me of a more consistent tyreke, lol.

He's still only shooting 32% from 3 this season. Getting that number up is really the final challenge for him to become a complete player.

Reesus could properly run the offense (never forget the Reke + Jrue combo dominating with Reke being the primary ball handler).

I get that they're both fearless attacking the basket, but they're not THAT similar.

He is a very intriguing player. Solid defense, fairly good at driving and a decent finisher. Also has a tough attitude that is appreciated. Like several others on this team, he needs to find a reliable 3 point shot. I like his upside more than Herb's though frankly.

My same thoughts, he’s better than her at everything but defense and he’s a good defender himself. Really does remind me of tyreke

His touch off the glass with his spinning the ball on layups is second only to Zion

Hopefully we can keep him for ~6 million a year (the Temple salary slot).

Think that’s probably a little low but not far off. I think he’ll get 8-9 / year. If we could lock him up at 4/32 in the offseason I would jump all over that

Tyreke was also our #2 scoring threat on that team. I'm glad we don't have to rely on Naji for that level of production.

This is random but wasn’t Reke’s brother on one of the pelicans message boards at one time? I can’t remember which one tho.
