Unless you are a LeBron or Kobe, the situation a player is in absolutely matters. Look how many guys get drafted in round 1 that go to a poor situation for them and then struggle. A perfect place for Jake would be San Antonio. The Danny Green comparison is really good. |

I’m not saying he will ever start. I personally don’t see that. But I see him as an elite role player. Evans could carve out a role like Danny Green |

Also while he is shorter then Robert Covington, Evans could carve out a nice role like he has and he just earned a nice paycheck as well.
He went undrafted and strictly makes his money on defense and 3 point shots |

I think some people would be shocked by some of the names of NBA starters. I'm not saying day 1 for Evans, but he can get there.

Add in that if Evans is drafted in the 1st round it will be in the back end of it. So he will be going to a team that is good and usually will already have star players, so his role will be strictly 3 & D to start out. Just come in when the starters come out and defend his ass off and shoot open 3's off the kick out.
If he were drafted by the TWolves it would be a great fit. They need that shooter off the bench. The Spurs passing ability would also find Evans for a lot of open jumpers and we all know what JEIII does with open looks. Also, he is uber Athletic and has a strong frame. I think we all should realize that the NBA doesn't always draft you on what you CAN do but rather what they believe you have the ability TO DO. Evans on paper looks like a guy who should be able to finish in traffic and get to the rim. Just because he hasn't shown it yet, doesn't mean the NBA doesnt think they can get it out of him. |

I think his draft position will be determined a lot by our success this year... not trying to state the obvious but if Jacob is projected in the first round after his Junior year, then that means UC made a very deep run in the tourney.
If that's the case, good for him and good for UC! |
