T.Evans may have some weaknesses (leadership, assist:turnover ratio, decisions to force some plays, and efficiency when playing off the ball), but his positives listed below (via Draftexpress) would bring alot of value to the Wolves. We could certainly use this guys . Point is, if it's not going to work to move up and get Rubio, then I have no issues with Evans as a 2nd option.

Offense...
- Go-to Guy
- Ability to get to free throw line
- Pick and roll play
- Scoring instincts
- Transition play
- Offensive Versatility
- Ability to create own shot
- Ability to create for others
- Ability to finish through contact
- Ball-handling skills w/either hand
- Change of gears/Hesitation moves

Defense...
- Ability to contest shots
- Ability to get in passing lanes
- Lateral quickness
- Defensive Versatility
- Excellent rebounder

Intangibles...
- Assertiveness
- Potential/Upside
- Athleticism
- Body control
- NBA body
- Strength
- Wingspan

I have another weakness: reminds me of Corey Maggette...

What about his ugly shooting?

I wouldn't hate Evans at 6, but he wouldn't be my first choice (he's definitely ahead of Curry).

If he's even around at #6..doesn't Sactown want Evans bad? If he is though, I'd be happy with him depending on who else is available.

I'm not much of a fan of Evans, but if we draft him, I won't be upset since I think Evans will be a decent player; and if we get him then that means we didn't draft curry or jennings, which would be much worse.
