    For better or worse, I would have taken Fournier from what was available that Summer. I just didn't get why Olshey was paying SO MUCH money to someone who couldn't shoot. Fournier shoots so much better.

    Who was the best available fit? I'm not disagreeing, I'm genuinely asking.

    You're basing Evans size of his height without regard for his incredible 7ft wingspan. Evans can play the 3. He has a taller standing reach than Evan Turner, and is very strong.

    I would've thought that they had way more points off of our turnovers.

    Evans is a ball dominant tweener with no real position. As a rule, I'm not a fan of tweeners. They have to be really special to make it work.

    He's doing what he's doing as the number one perimeter option for a bad team with 0 talent around him. He's always been super talented he's just battled injuries. He's turned himself into a very good shooter as well.

    Kind of tough to overcome shooting 60% on volume 3's. :dunno: But just keep chipping away, they should regress sometime soon. Play yo' game, Blazers.

    Maybe when a team wears their city addition jerseys for the 1st time they get a free blowout. Nike trying to sell them fast.

    I agree, however I wonder about Fournier's defense. I assume he's not very good defensively, but admittedly I do not have enough first hand knowledge or done enough research to confirm.

    I think ET is also a 2, not a 3; but fair enough, I'll try to keep an eye out the next time Evans guards James, Durant, George, etc, and see how he does.

    I simply don't think it's sustainable.

    He's average defensively.

    Evan Turner is so garbage. Can't believe we gave this dude that contract. It's so bad

    It doesn't need to be. Him producing half of what he is now would still make him our best SF.

    Good enough for me! Stotts doesn't know what to do with good defenders anyway.
