Additional Information
Would have gone higher had he gone back to school. But he's staying in the draft and he's a likely second-round pick.
Andy Katz - ESPN.com (June 11th)
The one concern with Evans is the low angle of his jump shot, but the results were impressive. Evans showed up in spectacular condition and was the best wing athlete in the camp. He has enough ballhandling skills to attack the goal against NBA defenders, but he must finish stronger.
Mike DeCourcy - The Sporting News (June 6th)

Scouting report by Matt Armstrong

Evans is a spectacular athlete. His musculature is incredible for a shooting guard. Imagine a more muscular Vince Carter and you have an idea of this guy's physical conditioning.

Evans can get up and finish on the break and has a decent midrange game due to his athleticism.

His outside shot is what will put him in the second round. He has a hitch in his shot that prevents him from being a consistent outside threat.

Evans will be useful for a team looking for athleticism, but he's not a complete package.

Strengths:Excellent player in the open court has wonderful body control and leaping ability .... Has a NBA ready body that will be able to take the rigors of an 82-game schedule ..... Great finisher fearless in transition ..... Slasher loves to take the ball hard to the hoop and go for the big jam.... Has all the necessary tools such as quick hands, lateral quickness , and anticipation to become a good defender on the next level .... Can make an impact on the boards due to his leaping ability ..... Tremendous athlete easily one of the top 5 in the draft .... Has 3-point range on his jump shot .....

Weakness: Not a very consistent shooter from the perimeter goes through periods where his shot becomes streaky .... Doesn't really have that killer take over a game type attitude simply plays at times too passive ... While he is a slasher his ball handling isn't the best as he has a bad habit of turning the ball over .... Hasn't really played that many high level games in his career .... While Wichita St. plays in a respectable conference the talent level isn't what it is in the BIG 12 and he did have some problems adjusting to the level of play in his first season at a high division 1 school .... While he does have 3-point range he isn't what on would call a consistent threat ...
