Answer 1

Mo Evans is a hack.....

Answer 2

While it's true that childress might be better than evans it doesn't mean that evans is bad. As a lakers fan who saw him play with the team for over a year and a half, i can tell you he is a great slasher and can be an explosive player at times.

decent 3-point shooter and a not so bad defender. He tends to improve with every passing year given the time i do believe he can be a good replacement for childress.

Answer 3

yea thats a good replacement.

Answer 4

He makes as much as JJ does! Thats not good cuz he isnt an all star like JJ...but he might chage, idk!

Anywayz, even if he is good, he' not as good as J-Chill becuz of this:

J-Chill averages 11.8 ppg

4.9 rpg

and 1.5 apg, while Maurice only averages 0.7 apg!

But I'mspeaking too soon, we'll just have to see if he is good or not!

EDIT: My bad, I messed up badly! He doesnt get payed as much as Joe Johnson! Oops.................!!!

Answer 5

Childress is way better than Evans

Answer 6

What up Peaches (the real Peaches),

Maurice Evans is a good guy to have off the bench- but it's tough to compare him to Josh Childress they are two different types of players and give you different things.

Josh is an energy frontcourt type of player who can bring excitement with a block, or a put back dunk.  

Maurice Evans is more of a combo sg/sf, and he cuts well, and is a decent perimeter shooter and defender.  He's a good guy to have off the bench... but him and Josh have different games and how much the Hawks miss Josh will depend on how much the other guys can step it up... i think you will enjoy some of the things Evans can do off the bench for you guys... Go sign the other Josh ASAP!!!

Answer 7

Maurice Evans wont even coome close to replacing Childress.  Childress can quietly put up double figures in points, tack on mabye 5-6 boards, 1 steal, 1 block with a solid percentage from the field and from the line and he can even knock down a three from time to time.    

As a Warriors fan, im estatic that we didnt sign Evans to be honest cuz Azubuike is better and i really dont think we needed Evans it was just throwing away money.

Answer 8

As a Laker Fan,

I have seen him play. He's an athletic, explosive player and if good minutes are given, HE'LL MAKE THE BEST OF THEM.

Back when we had Luke starting, he had an injury that sidelined him and Mo' came in as his replacement. The Lakers had a good winning streak having him as a starter.

I really wanted the Lakers to keep this guy.

Answer 9

maurice evans sucks.
