Player grades for each Pacers player at the halfway point

The D’s

I think you get the grading system by now.

Tyreke Evans: D-

For the vast majority of this season, Tyreke Evans has shot the ball historically bad. I don’t use that term lightly or in jest; it has been historically bad for his shot volume. He recently took a few games off for a PRP injection and has been garden-variety bad since then, so there’s still hope he might improve a bit. The Indiana Pacers best hope might be that he looks good long enough for someone to offer a warm body and a bag of basketballs for him before the trade deadline. Assuming he sticks around – he’s certainly got plenty of talent and experience, odds are that he’ll get somewhat better, but it looks like last year in Memphis was the extreme outlier instead of the new expectation for Evans.
