"We are excited to add <u>Reggie Evans</u> our roster. He is an accomplished rebounder that we feel will make an immediate impact and will exemplify our commitment to hard work, rebounding and defense," said King. "At 6-11, <u>Ricky Sanchez</u> is a young prospect that has potential and we will continue to monitor his development as he plays overseas."</p> </div></p> I like it for Philly, and I love that Reggie Evans is getting a real opportunity to play. He is undoubtedly one of the best rebounders in the NBA, and I never understood why coach Karl decreased his playing time as the season progressed.</p> From Denver's point of view, not bad. They got themselves a decent backup center who will fit in their up-tempo system. Bobby Jones also is an excellent perimeter defender, and certainly a smarter player than Diawara.</p> Overall, I think Philly won the trade, because they got themselves one of the top rebounders that fills a true need and has some experience in the league, yet isn't old. Evans is underrated. </p>
