Evan takes more risks with his fashion and hair. Evan is "edgier" and has the accent.

I think Evan is very good 6th man who can play spot starter minutes. He can be one of the best 6th men in the league.

NO ONE.

Whoever say's they do should re-evaluate their life.

Drafting Russell could put us in a very good spot in regards to trade assets, and before Fournier is asking for a 10+ mil contract we could trade him for future accommodations. I could seriously see him being on the block draft night if we land Russell, no better time.

How old is Evan? Young enough that nobody should write him off from being a poor, average or potentially great player someday.

He is young but been playing professionally since 16. Watching that "Magic Stories" epi of Inside the Magic was a trip. He talked about his start and how hard it was because he was on his own so early. Evan's not as young as his age so i don't know if he will grow so much more, but he is skilled and that should translate to a nice nba career.

...and yes he is cuter than JJ. He dresses like a 70's disco dancer.

Who cares if he played pro at 16. He is like 22 years old. By the time he hits his prime, he could be a much improved player still.

It would be nice if he was already as polished as Mirotic, but you can't have everything. Still loads better than Afflalo.

Any chance we'll lock him in with an extension this summer or are we looking at another tobias situation?

I hope we can keep him long term. He could become a Turk/JJ hybrid in the future.


I love that comparison

We better lock him up. I love his game and the dynamic he adds to our backcourt rotation.

Anyone remember how he was playing before Vic came back from his training camp injury? Dude was BEASTING. The thing about forming a great team is finding players that know their role and do their best at that role. Evan knows his role on this team and accepts coming off the bench for the team. If he's willing to stay that role with us (as long as he's getting earned mins) then i hope he stays with us forever.

I'd rather see Fornier shoot 3's than worthless, medieval catapault-launcher Frye. What a waste of $$ we spent on him.
WE should have resigned Harris already and now were paying Frye millions to launch 3's.
All Frye does is hang out at the 3 point arc and lauch bombs.

I believe Evan is going to be a big part of our bench scoring, he is what we need coming off the bench behind Dipo every night. Hopefully we can add one or two other players that can score off the bench with him, so he doesn't feel forced to put up bad shots like he does from time to time.

He's cute and has the french accent going for him, but the clothes are definitely "Euro"....tight jackets, tight pants. I've seen him at some games where I wondered how he was gonna sit down!

he has pretty eyes (some might even say 'girly'), but come on now.... JJ is the most handsome man in the NBA. he'd turn Diener gay.

Just saying that to say he has more miles on him than someone else his age who may have went to college, no? Elf has already lost more games this year than his whole college career because of the difference in amount of games, but Evan has been playing a lot of games for a longer period of time. What if he doesn't get significantly better?

@Hoosier, yep I thought it was just me!! Him and Elfrid with the skinny jeans...that's what's hot now? :lol:

@Ben, nooooo. I can't take away from JJ he is cute too, but he is more the Hair King. His hair is sculpture...a work of art. Evan is a pretty pretty man (like should be a doll pretty).
