The problem with Evans

The real problem with Evans isn't his recent decline in play. What get's people mad is that he's getting more minutes over someone who's playing better. That's what get people mad. It's the same with Curry over Tay, Darvin over Dupree, Darko,Okur, and EC, Lindsey over Mike James. Curry, Darvin, Lindsey, and Evans are good guys, hard players, have Pistons DNA, but their NBA skills vary from non existant (Curry and Ham) to good with major flaws (Hunter).

Hunter over James was at least understandable, but with some of these other choices, and Evans over Delfino is starting to become one, it drives people crazy. Right or wrong, when this happens people really start to dwell on the negatives of the guy playing and the positive of the guy night playing. If anyone really thinks Evans is better than Delfino say so, otherwise understand why people are so vocal for Delfino.

This aint a Darko issue, with people debating potential. CD is proving his abilities on the court game after game, and proving that he is the better choice for the minutes than Evans.
