#1 Tyreke Evans

To put things into perspective, Evans could top his previous year's average only four times during the entire season - where he played 69 games, starting 18 times. His shooting slump left him at an inconceivable 38% conversion from the field as his 2018/19 campaign scoring averaged barely crossed the 10 ppg mark. Moreover, his three-point shooting touch also saw a noticeable downfall from 40% to 35.5% this past regular season.

Evans was brought in as a backup playmaker for Oladipo but with Vic missing considerable time, he proved certainly not the man to look to for scoring production.

One of his glaring anomalies came in the form of his inability to finish at the rim. According to NBA stats, Evans finished 146th out of 147 in terms of field goal percentage from players who averaged three or more drives per game. Safe to say, he was a high usage player who performed at unthinkably low standards in a team that had been blown wide open due to a massive injury.
