He started every game last season for a 35-3 Duke team and averaged 15.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 28.2 minutes per contest. Evans’ shooting ability is enticing. He’s got a very quick release and showed he can hit jumpers in many situations — spot-ups in both half court and transition; working free off of down screens; as a pick-and-popper/ The 20-year-old is also able to leverage the threat of his shot in smart ways, including downhill drives and back cuts. For the most part, Evans’ college shooting numbers were encouraging. , which is an ultra-high figure. As a point of comparison, in two college seasons. Evans made 38.0 percent of his college threes and 84.9 percent of his free throws.

However, Evans is a relatively skinny prospect at the moment and doesn’t have tremendous length for an NBA wing Positional labels don’t matter much nowadays, but it still would limit Evans’ versatility if he doesn’t wind up being capable of playing effective “forward” minutes. It’s nitpicking, but the arc on Evans’ shot appeared to be a tad inconsistent and flat at times. And his three-point percentage did drop on higher volume as a sophomore, going from 41.6 to 36.1 percent. Outside of shotmaking, how much can Evans contribute? While he wasn’t a one-dimensional player at Duke, Evans was generally unexceptional with rebounding, passing and defensive playmaking. With that said, there’s viable avenues to him being a useful NBA player in those kinds of role player areas. For instance, Evans blocked 25 shots last season and racked up five rejections in He sunk a game-winning triple against the Gators, too. Fit Every team in the NBA would welcome three-point shooting and wing depth. As far as the Sixers in particular, Paul George and Justin Edwards are currently the team’s only true wings The Cavs picked a Duke product last year in Mike Gansey’s final draft with the team, selecting Tyrese Proctor at No. 49 overall. , highlighted to reporters in his post-draft press conference that Evans would check the same box.
