I wouldn’t take this at face value, considering Phil Forte is one of the most humble dudes on this basketball team. But on the basketball team’s first day of practice, Phil spoke with the media about his time in Stillwater and said that freshman Jawun Evans is already better than him.
“I remember when I was a freshman asking like Markel, now I’m trying to help Jawun out. It’s different, I came in with a McDonald’s All-American [Marcus Smart] now I’m the senior and he’s [Jawun] already better than me. So I’m like gah, it’s weird…”
If Jawun is already better than Forte, then this team may be in better shape than we all might expect.
