The main problem lies with the relative poor defense played by Martin on a consistent basis and how this is a poor fit, overall, with a PG like Evans, who is solid offensively but is still nowhere near becoming a very good defender, just yet. Given who Kevin Martin is, as a basketball player, he needs to play beside players who are at least average-to-strong defenders/rebounders, in order to be part of an effective five-man unit. If not, K-Mart is always going to score his fair share of points but his team is going to struggle to win games against high quality opponents that have the ability to take advantage of his relatively weak body frame and inability to play physical defense [and rebound] on key possessions against the very best OG's and SF's in the NBA. Sebastian,
