2. Keenan Evans, Guard, Texas Tech

Keenan Evans was a factor on why Texas Tech had one of the best seasons’s that the school has had in several years.

Averaging 17.6 points, three rebounds, and 3.2 assists a game in his senior season, Evans can flat out score the ball. Evans simply gets buckets and did it at a high rate during his season.

He had seven games of scoring at least 25 points. Evans can also get into the paint and draw fouls, averaging almost seven free throws per contest.

Bottomline, when Texas Tech desperately needed a bucket, it was Evans who had the ball in his hands.

His main issue is getting others involved. He’s more of a shooting guard and not a point guard. Teams are going to want him to play at the one spot due to his height being at 6’3″.

Evans also needs to work on being more versatile on the defensive side of the ball. Evans does have a chance to be a solid player in the NBA because he can create his own shot and score at will.

He would be a good fit for the purple and gold and could maybe start off in the G League and work his way to the main roster.
