The Golden State Warriors had high hopes for Jacob Evans when they selected him 28th overall in 2018. The Warriors had genuine belief that Evans could be an immediate contributor.
Although that didn’t pan out in 2018-19, could that mean Evans is set for a breakout year in 2019-20?
Following the 2018 NBA draft, Evans was seen as a player that could bolster the Warriors options on the wing, a position which proved to cause many problems without Andre Iguodala.
But more importantly, the former Cincinnati alum was viewed as a competent three-point shooter and a guard capable of defending multiple positions.
