Getting beat off the dribble a couple of times is nothing. What would be reportable is if it keeps happening. If Delfino consistently showed he could not adjust to a player. Same for Darko. If someone beats him inside, consistently, thats reportable. Getting beat inside happens all the time. It happens to Ben and Sheed constantly. But generally, except by guys like Shaq, not consistently.

I absolutely will report whatever I see negative from Darko or Delfino, same as for any other player. At this point, neither Darko nor Delfino have a ton of experience with guarding any particular player. So simply no negative patterns to report. Sure, you could find fault, make a big deal of it. That is, if you don't understand basketball. Basketball is about making adjustments.

Evans, since he has been in the rotation a lot this year, absolutely has a pattern to report on his defense. So far, he has shown precious little ability to defend taller shooting guards nor small forwards. And he has shown not able to avoid being burnt by point guards. Basically, he has very consistently shown to have trouble guarding NBA players. Game after game, after game. The trend of late is for Flip to give in to the fact Evans can't guard the other team's better offensive players, and has him guarding mostly guards now. Its a big disappointment compared to what I expected from Evans on defense. And very reportable. If he improves, I will report that.

Last observation on Evans, against GS, he can't for a moment stay with Baron Davis. Dissapointing. I really hoped he had some ability defensively to stay with a guy like Davis.

The best observation of Evans' defense is how he did against Gilbert Arenas. Apparently, he matches up quite well with Arenas, and was very effective in closing Arenas down. Thats one player so far where Evans has impressed me with his defense. In 23 games. If you think there is another case worth reporting, let me know. I would be glad to hear another opinion.
