Not even close.

The sac team was bad he played on Bonn, I know what your thinking, but even on that team he showed promise..maybe not as consistant as you would like, but no one really consistant on a bad team

disappointing for years? a PG averaging 16/5/5/45%fg is disappointing? he's dealt with plantar fascia issues the past 2 years which have limited both his athleticism and availability, which have led to those down numbers.

by the way his play since being inserted into the NOR starting lineup (just for ****s and giggles):
11 games/22.4ppg/5.8apg/5.6rpg/55%fg

if you can't see we could use this guy, you don't know what you're looking at.

Its not his FG% that is 44% but his eFG% which takes into account Free throws and 3 pointers. His FG% this year is 43%.

He has had a very inefficient career, but lets look at this year:

His eFG% this year is 44% that is beyond awful.

He is a horrible 3 point shooter which is crucial for a guard.

He is not a good defender.

This guy is exactly the player that I don't want on this team.

dude he played awful coming off the bench, his fg% as a bench player was 40%, his fg% in 11 games as a starter is 55%. same goes for his 3p% which is 41% as a starter. huge difference there. he's not a great defender but he's definitely not below average. if that's all you come away with, that's on you. he's a triple-double threat everytime he takes the floor. and oh yeah.. any time my PG can go out at get me 6rpg, that makes up for any supposed lack of a 3pt shot.

eFG is usually higher because most (decent) guards can hit 3's. Evans can't. He is shooting 22% from 3. Is that acceptable?

Houston's eFG for his career was ~49%. Not great but ok.

Jeff Hornacek (who I believe was grossly underrated) had an eFG of 53 for his career and a TS of 59 which is insanely good for a guard.

Kyle Lowry who is having a very good year (and I wish we traded for him) has an eFG this year of 51% and a TS of 57.

Dragic who is along with Noah is one of my top couple of favorite players in the NBA has an eFG of ~57 and a TS of 61!!!!

Enough with the inefficient players, lets hope that the knicks start looking for players who are above average in efficiency.
