Jacob Evans is our best player. Him leading us in scoring will be entirely up to him.

If Evans drops as efficient 15 PPG and continues his great defense plus adds some dribble drive to his scoring, then he is going to the NBA.

Today I feel he is the prototypical 3 and D NBA player. 6'6, 44" inch vertical, amazing on and off ball defender, good rebounder and has good court vision. If he starts driving the ball, he then completes the package.

Jacob is already on 2 mock drafts already and if he gets a little more killer in him, and he will be repping the bearcats on an NBA team

Thanks! Last time I checked he was not on there. But second round is a gamble. I know there is still room for improvement.

Yea this is for 2018 where not even A game has been played. If Evans attack’s and builds on last season, he is gone and i won’t blame him.

Unheralded 4 Star kid with a chance at nba as a jr is a big deal. Mick and coach rehfedt need a ton of credit on this regardless

He makes a very respectable amount of his shots.

I guess we could make a case we would like him to be more selective and pass the ball more...but if he does that and we increase pace they may offset.
I voted for Washington. He was money for most of the season but had a few games where he couldn't buy a bucket: both UConn games, UCLA, @ Tulane and @ Tulane where he scored a combined total of 21 points. I don't think it is much of a stretch to say he will easily double his scoring output in those games if not triple.

I just don't too many skilled bigs in the AAC who can hang with him night in and night out. Brimah was probably a big factor as to the poor performance against the Huskies and he's now moved on.

If Broome can beat his man at the top it will open up easy shots and follows for Washington and Clark. It seemed like last year they never got easy buckets or stick-backs. I voted for Washington.

Jacob is my favorite current player, but their is no guarantee he will make a large jump. There are players at other schools also trying to make a jump. They may all improve 10%, and hold their draft place. Or he may go up five to 10 spots. I think it will be difficult for him to become a lot more aggressive, and improve a lot taking the ball to the hole. Most people just improve incrementally. Not necessarily a great Improvement.

I certainly hope he has a monster year though.

This is how I feel. Would love him to take off but it's rare that someone that is somewhat passive all the sudden "takes over" and makes it his team. It could happen but it's rare

It's a mental thing...he has the necessary tools. He needs to want to be the man and he must find a way to be more decisive to make another leap like he did last year. He will lead this team in minutes no doubt.

Last year we had basically 1 aggressive player in the lineup (Washington). Clark and Evans were efficient but I wouldn't call them aggressive...they let the points come to them. Cumberland was more aggressive toward the end of the year as he learned he was an important piece but most of the season was not super aggressive. Troy probably scored a lot of his points with the clock winding down but tried to get the rest involved most of the time. KJ was mostly a shoot when open guy.

This year I am hoping we see more aggressiveness out of Clark and Evans. Washington is already there. Broome will be more aggressive than Troy earlier in the clock. Cumberland should be a lot more aggressive this year than either himself or KJ were last year. If we can just get Evans and Clark to change their mentality a bit...we could be in for a very VERY good year!
