Tyreke Evans had been a starter in nearly all of the NBA games for which he was healthy before this season, so one might assume starting in place of Victor Oladipo would bring out his best.
It hasn't. Apparently job description has more impact on him than playing time or the order in which he enters the game.
Evans has averaged 11.2 points on 40 percent shooting in the 15 games he's played off the bench. He's averaged 9.3 points on 31 percent shooting in the seven games he has started, despite playing 4.3 more minutes per game as a starter.
