Mo Evans Picks Hawks Over Warriors

Mo EvansRemember how we reported that Maurice Evans signed with the Warriors? Yeah, scratch that, it never happened. He considered Golden State's three-year, $6.4 million offer but ultimately passed, which is one reason why the Warriors proceeded to keep Kelenna Azubuike from jumping ship to the Clippers.

As it turns out, it was a wise move for Evans: he just agreed to a three-year, $7.5 million deal with the Hawks, who are looking to plug a Josh Childress-sized hole on their bench.

Evans isn't a flashy player, and as a starter he was one of the weakest links in Orlando's lineup last year, but as a likely sixth- or seventh-man for the Hawks, he's not horrible. He's not nearly as versatile as Childress, who could play the two as well as both forward positions in a pinch, but he's a viable swingman capable of hitting the open three and manning up on defense.
