Well it is team ball, but its also the definition of a roleplayer. Darius is dependable. But somebody else has to get him going. Not sure I can really recall a time when Darius Songaila really stepped forward and imposed his will on a game by himself. Nor do I expect him to BTW. Just goes to when trying to decide whetehr a guy had an A game or a B+. Brad made things happen. But did Darius really? Or did he just take what came his way and smothly convert it?
Point Made ...
Okay ... I get where you're coming from.
He's not a "creator - sorta' speak" ....
He's "in the right place at the right time" ...
Given structure and an awareness of the players on the floor - on the offensive end, like you say, Darius is dependable.
Makes you wonder .... where is this guys skills gonna be in a couple of years.
Does he have "what it takes" to "take over a game" ... time will tell.

While I agree with your B+ for Darius, I think sometimes your criticism of him is a little tough. He is after all not a superstar, but only a roleplayer, yet he has managed to fill some pretty big shoes satisfactoraly. Also he often plays man to man defense better than Webber or Brad. But I do enjoy your grade posts.
Not true. JRich got 5 touches when Kevin was guarding him. Kevin stopped him on 3, and he dribbled by him twice.
'Smoked' would be an apt characterization for 2 of the 5 times Kevin defended JRich when he had the ball. Martin did well in the other three moments of truth. I'll take 3 outta 5 on a guy that ultimately went off for almost 40 points.
But then there's also the times where JRich didn't get the ball when he was defended by Martin. I didn't note how much JRich was just out of the flow on other possessions versus Kevin doing something defensively to deny him the ball.
'Smoked' would be an apt OVERALL characterization for Evans' defensive play last night, though.
