whats his one trick? his energy? his rebounding? his defense? he ball grabbing? his ability to score grabage points? his mobility?
he played center at iowa and based on what I saw of him... Evans had no business in the nba. His mentality has changed.... now when we watch evans we see this hungry guy out on the floor willing to do anything to win.... and that includes tugging the marbles.
I'd price Evans at 4 million a year. At 6'8 he is an interior defensive presence. he just cant shoot free throws very well or create his own shot... or shoot. Oh well, teams need what he brings to the table.
Evans is the man. Anything under the MLE for evans is cool with me. He's worth it.

Re: Reggie Evans vs. Elson
Here me out...
I never judge players based on age. You can be in your 40's and 50s and if you are solid I'll take you. I judge all professional athletes by the merits of their pro skill. IMO at the end of the day Elson will be the better player. That's not a knock on Evans either by the way. I like him a lot as well, he's a real banger in the paint. I love the way he works hard for those rebounds. However I think the Nuggets have that guy in Najera.

Re: Reggie Evans vs. Elson
najera hustles and plays good defense. he doesnt dominate the glass like evans.
seriously, elson does absolutely nothing. he doesnt have a single strength and he is WEAK everywhere on the floor. he is easily the worst player in the ENTIRE NBA...

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.

Well, Elson does have a good shot, and that is a nice ability to have from a big man. He can also get up and down the court well.
That said, he's awful. There has been a dumber player on a Nuggets roster since Marcus Liberty left town. Evans and Najera are better than Elson right now. I see no need to bring Elson back, even at a reasonable price. He'd rather go to San Antonio anyway.

Re: Reggie Evans vs. Elson
Here's the dilemma with Evans:
Do you pay a guy with no offensive ability the full MLE? Sure, if you're a high-powered offense in need of what he brings to the table. It's hard to find someone like Reggie 25-30 minutes every night. He can benefit any team in the league playing 15 or so minutes a night, but he starts to be a liability above that. He could probably see a lot of court time with someone like Phoenix or Dallas - teams that don't have a problem scoring and could use a guy like Reggie. But I just don't think Denver needs him that much to pay him the full MLE. I'd pay him 3 million easily, but would struggle to pay him even 3.5. We do already have Najera, and if we hang on to Kenyon, I don't see where the minutes are.
