I'm not quite sold on Reggie Evans. He's a tenacious rebounder, that's awesome. But that's what he is. And while he'll benefit greatly from playing next to Z, someone else can do the same easily. Grabbing boards should be the easy part. Besides, we must remember that we have 8rpg from Z, 7 from LBJ, and 6 from Hughes. The PF will grab the rest. How much more will there be available for Evans to get than anyone else?
The main beef I will have with Reggie is his defense. I don't know if he'll really be that great of a defender here. Toughness in the paint, yes. But what about his foul trouble? It'll come out much more given starter minutes. Varejao will go through the same, but we're not spending big bucks on him just yet.
Also, I don't really see him being a cheap option. We are going to have 6, maybe 7 million to spend. We MUST get a point guard. If we want Reggie, we'll have to splash the bank to get him. Anything reasonable towards his talent, and Seattle will likely match. So that eliminates deals under 3 mil starting. Do we want to pay that much for him and go mediocre in the most important position? Or do we want to chase Sarunas Jasikevicius?
I think the glaring hole we have now is the point guard position. Snow could start, I wouldn't be against it at all. But that would reflect all the problems that we had last year and the year before... no outside shooting. It can be solved in the PG position, it actually is a must if we want a solid starting lineup.
