re: Advocate Article: Alvin Gentry, guard Tyreke Evans trying to get on same page

Alvin Gentry wants to play big to begin the first and third quarters but has no expectation of actually staying big throughout the remainder of the game. Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson are simply too good compared to the alternatives on the bench. Gentry should take a hard look at how Alexis Ajinca and Anthony Davis have performed together over the last two seasons, because the results are ridiculous.



That's just mauling the competition. Resistance to Ajinca starting, and I have certainly led the cause, focuses on his inability to avoid fouling. Starting last Tuesday he lived up to that reputation racking up four personal fouls in just 13 minutes of action. If Gentry wanted a center to play 25 or 30 minutes a night that would be a serious problem. Gentry doesn't. Neither Ajinca or Omer Asik have played more than 25 minutes in a single game all season long.
