Mo is the worst swingman i have ever seen

[exodus]

at finishing inside. I have been cringing for weeks whenever he goes in for a layup because i always expect him to miss if there is a defender in the same zip code. However i hadn't looked at his numbers.

He is making only 27% of his shots inside that aren't dunks. that is just staggering.

Do youremember Dion Glover?

He lost his confidence.

We knew that before the season began.

Evans is a role player, meaning there will be warts in his game.

No, this is not "a wart." His inside finishing is not even at a poor NBA level. It's unbelievable how terrible he is at finishing. Especially for someone with his height and athleticism. Such a contrast from Childress.

For a role player, it's not that big a deal. He's asked to hit the open perimeter shot and play good on-ball defense. And he does both of those things really well.

Compared to the starting PF's recent inability to rebound and hit free throws, it's not a big deal.

I will say this...Flip Murray was basically openly ignoring Mo Evans in the 4th quarter. I counted three times Flip saw a wide open Mo and decided to take it himself. Not sure if that's funny or sad.

Leaving easy points on the floor really hurts. And I think you're mistaken on his defense. He gets lost as much as Childress and he has a hard time staying in front of guys without fouling.
