When surveying the landscape of 3-and-D wings in the 2018 draft class, Jacob Evans immediately pops off the page with his production and advanced metrics alongside his NBA ready frame. Next to names like Lonnie Walker IV and Khyri Thomas, Evans is one of the more proven commodities on the wing heading towards June 21.
In the Phoenix Suns’ third predraft workout, their second of four this week, Jacob Evans was the only one who has a chance of being drafted, let alone likely in the top 25. Alongside William McDowell-White (Australia, EuroLeague), Alan Herndon (Wyoming), Obi Enechionya (Temple), Shannon Evans II (Arizona State), and Kodi Justice (Arizona State) he was by far the one who stood out.
