Jawun Evans was drafted with the 9th pick of the second round and 39th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. Evans averaged 19 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals a game as a sophomore for the Pokes and was named an honorable mention AP All-American.
There was a ton of speculation about where Evans would end up, but most outlets had Evans at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second. There were a record 16 (!) college freshmen taken in Round 1, and Evans slid slightly as the Draft went super young.
