Evans, Jawun Oklahoma St. 6'0" 185 PG soph. Evans has speed and a low center of gravity that makes him difficult to contain. He averaged 19.2 points (career 40% 3-pt FG, 81% FT) and 6.4 assists per game as a sophomore. The six assists per game was good enough to lead the Big 12. His career assist-to-turnover ratio is 2.14-to-1. In 2015-16, he was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. On defense, Evans makes up for his listed 6'0" height with relatively long arms (6'5.5" wingspan, only a quarter-inch less than Mike Conley.) ...Evans' max. vert was just 33.5" (same as Raymond Felton, Ramon Sessions.)  …In the summer of 2015, Evans won gold at the FIBA U19 World Championships with USA Basketball. ...As a prep: McDonald's All-American. ...Evans played on a team at Oklahoma St. that was lacking in the BIG department.  He was still efficient and productive. We think his efficiency will only increase as he plays with NBA caliber players. We also liked that Evans played his best basketball against the best competition. He averaged 4.9 more points per game against power conference schools (stat from DraftExpress.com). ...Evans can score and he can make plays for his teammates. We expect him to be taken early in the second round but we would take him in the first, if given a chance to.

Decent Advice: In 2009, the 15th pick in the NBA Draft was Austin Daye. We advised, "Draft Ty Lawson."
