No. 4: It’s starting to feel like Jawun Evans will be back next year

Our star point guard continues to struggle since he injured his shoulder in mid-December. While he did have 15 points and 6 assists, the 15 points came on 6-22 shooting from the field. That’s not going to get the job done. Your best player cannot shoot under 30% and expect to help win games. Along with the poor shooting, Evans turned the ball over 4 times, which does not seem like too high over a number on the surface but a few of those turnovers were in very key situations for the Cowboys. At times Evans shows us that he is one of the top guards in the country. At times he looks almost lost on the court. Frank Mason had his way with Evans guarding him in the second half. I think Evans would benefit greatly from another season of Brad Underwood’s tutelage.
