Two-way player Jawun Evans gives the Phoenix Suns 'true point guard'
Sitting in his Suns locker space and wearing a team warmup shirt Friday night, Jawun Evans had his No. 0 jersey hanging behind him all fresh and crisp at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
“I actually wore that number in high school,” said Evans, a 2015 McDonald’s All-American out of Justin F. Kimball High in Dallas. “Just went back to it.”
A happy Evans had just signed a two-way contract with the Suns after averaging 18.5 points, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 14 games with Phoenix’s G League affiliate the Northern Arizona Suns.
“I’m feeling great about it,” Evans said. “I’m happy to be here. Can’t wait to get in the game with these guys and just go out there and have fun and play basketball.”
