    Case in point: Tonight, err last night: IT 41 minutes with 28/4/10 on 11/19 shooting; Jimmer 7 minutes with 5/1/0 on 2/4 shooting. Previous game: IT 48 minutes(OT) with 8/8/6 on 3/13 shooting; Jimmer 4 minutes with 0/0/1 on 0/1 shooting. IT is playing well, but I don't understand this distribution of minutes between two rookies. Kobe doesn't even play those kinds of minutes. Plus, when Jimmer is in, he ends up playing more SG than PG. It's just an odd situation.

    Their making Evans play the SF and have spent the last 2 years convinced he wasn't a PG so they needed a PG to take the ball out of his hands. Evans strengths were a lot like Westbrook with his ability to slash to the rim and finish with ease or make a pass. He is also very dependent on FT's to make a big impact in points. Saco should have used him just like the thunder used Westbrook, make the combo guard the PG and just live with the results.
    Picked him third round in my fantasy draft last year and third round this year and he has been nothing but a disappointment, to bad I traded him and Paul George for freaken injured Curry.

    You can find a way to slight any player if you dig deep enough.

    You're post isn't accurate, he's an 80% foul shooter

    Evans hasn't even been starting lately. Marcus Thornton passed him on the depth chart

    Ruined I tell ya.

    I would trade a signed Nic Batum and a draft pick for Evans and Chuck Hayes.

    Once again I am reminded that, however little faith I have in our front office, it could be worse.

    If we want someone like Evans, we should just trade down, and draft Wroten. They're like the exact same, and Wroten might actually be a better passer.

    No trading down. Martell over Paul and Williams is a big enough case study for me.

    For shits and giggles, without looking, can anyone tell me the player picked directly after Chris Paul and directly before Martell Webster?

    It's a bit like asking a healthy Brandon Roy to learn to play off the ball so Andre Miller can dominate the set offense. Nobody would be that crazy, right? ;)
