Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 5064234, member: 1674"] Watching some of his game action, just a list of stuff as I see it: [LIST] [*]His 3 point shooting is obviously his biggest strength. Not going to be jacking up 3's like crazy the way Reynolds or Leffew do, but it's definitely the part of his game that you'd expect to translate over to us the best. [*]Struggles to elevate on his drives and isn't a very good ball handler, probably a big reason for his struggles finishing at the rim despite being physically strong relative to his peers. Mostly tries to just power through people once he gets to the paint. I'd expect these struggles to continue against ACC competition. [*]Not sure if it's just coincidence, but both of the games I've watched so far (Memphis and Gonzaga), he didn't really do much until they pulled their starters out. 9 of his 18 points against Memphis came in the last 2.5 minutes against their backups and 19 of his 25 points against Gonzaga came in the last 5ish minutes when they started putting the backups, Mark Few's son, etc. in. [*]I'll have to see how they play against some of the other SWAC teams, but it stood out to me that the offense wasn't really run through Evans in these two games. Nobody really dominates the ball but their 5'8" PG definitely handled it the most of anyone. You don't really average nearly 20 points in a season without getting a lot of touches but he was just really quiet in both of these games until the end. [*]The Georgetown game was competitive the whole way through and Evans had a much better performance (though he went 1/7 down the stretch as the game slipped away). Kind of more of the same though; the offense isn't really run through him much but he did a nice job of taking advantage of opportunities as they came up. [/LIST] Not really sure what to make of him yet to be honest. My initial reaction is I think I'd probably roll with Carlos and JJ as the starters but not sure how realistic that is. Edit: Watched the Georgetown game too and added a bullet at the end here. [/QUOTE]
