Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
I like Mo Evans, he's the perfect Piston player. I saw him in a couple games last year and came away impressed by his athletic ability, defensive versatility, and his hard play. He's not the scorer or shooter we needed, but at 1.5 per I'm not complaining too much. Good signing...

I didn't know who he was til pejavu pointed it out. Very nice athletic ability. Still not the long range threat Pistons want but oh well.

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
i thought det needed a scorer off the bench? not another defender. I havent seen mo evans play due to restrictions of living in australia, but i thought that there were others that would have been a much better fit. can someone tell me what he is like because his stats dont say much. He looks like another dupree

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
Maybe Delfino is the scorer we need off the bench.

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
Seriously, guys like Arroyo and Delfino didn't have the chance the play under Brown. I think that'll all change with Flip coming in.
Dupree impressed me in his minutes last year, but I think the signing of Evans pretty much sealed his fate as a Piston. Whether he's traded or cut or rotting the bench, I think it's a safe bet to say, barring injury, he won't play much at all next season.

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
Evans is a great fit for the pistons. Joe D shows that his key to sucess is just overloading with his type of players.

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
Don't know him, but I do live in the US since April this year, been following the Pistons closely since then (no NBA on Dutch TV  ) and seeing most of the replies it's a pretty good sign.
Nice.

Re: Pistons to sign Maurice Evans
We have to wait 7 days before it's official, but without a doubt it eventually will be. The Kings can't match...
