Can he guard anybody?
Evans will probably be a back-up, maybe a spot starter in a pinch. I could see taking him at 30 maybe.
You mean Evans might be the best since Paul right?
1a. Evans
1b. Fultz
This is all in terms of pick-and-roll ability of course.

His 6'5 wingspan (record for any player under 6'0) certainly will help him. His steal % also proves that he is pretty good at anticipating on defense.

Would you guys do this deal? I'm pretty sure Detroit would. Not sure about Phoenix. I'm okay with it, I guess.
DET out: Drummond + #12
DET in: Favors + Diaw (non-guaranteed)
Rationale -- Detroit gets out of Drummond's contract, gets Favors to start, and saves $7M in cap space by not picking up Diaw's option.
Utah out: Favors + Diaw
Utah in: Bledsoe, Player X, #12
Rationale -- Utah gets a quality PG for $14M and gets a #12 pick (Mitchell/Collins) for Favors before they lose him in free agency.
PHX out: Bledsoe, Player X
PHX in: Drummond
Rationale -- Moves Bledsoe to start Fox or Smith Jr., gets Drummond to replace Len (whom I think they'll let walk)

Detroit isn't going to trade Drummond + 12 for Favors and we aren't going to get Bledsoe + 12 for Favors.
I'd be all for it of course but Detroit isn't doing that deal but Phoenix might.
We'd be better off exploring a Favors for Bledsoe deal by itself.

I dont think anyone wants to trade for Drummond at this point.
Detroit is madly trying to unload Drummond and is likely willing to attach the #12 to do it.
The only question here is whether Phoenix wants Drummond. Utah doesn't.
If Utah sent back #24, I'm certain that would clinch it for Detroit.

I'll be interested to see what they do. The problem is that they're headed for the luxury tax with a team that won 37 games.
