Free Jeremy Evans

I might be wrong here, but I could see KOC giving the order to severely limit his minutes so we can resign him long term. Evans was on a short 2 year deal, the kind Paul Allen still can get a hard on for without his Viagra. Evans is the athletic wing player Portland would not hesitate to sign and possibly a few other teams as well. Is it unfair to Jeremy? A little, but at the same time he wouldn't have been drafted if it wasn't for KOC and may have been forced to play overseas for a long time for a decent buck.
 
It sucks he isn't playing. I understand that there just isn't enough minutes to go around but at the same time, some guys haven't been playing well. He should at least get a chance. He does a lot of things well. Like rebounding and blocking shots. I hope we sign him again next year.
 
I have seen Jeremy shoot the mid range jumper with suprising accuracy. However, having said that, I haven't seen anything exceptional in his game other than the dunk from out of nowhere. The problem with that is that a good defense can take that right away. If he were scouted by the other team with any degree of seriousness, that aspect of his game would be taken away and he'd be left with nothing else (unless that mid range shot is real). I remember him saying that he was looking to play some SF, and I hope this happens. The good news is that if anyone can teach him how to, it's Howard. Remember though, that he is 24 years old, not exactly the modern age for a sophmore in the league. My point is that at his age, he should be starting to come to his own talent wise, and if this is all he's got, he's the new Mikki Moore of the NBA. (or NBDL, depending on injuries.)

I am still hopeful, but he has a lot of work to do.
