It was hard to figure out Maxwell Evans’ usage pattern in 2017-18.
As a freshman, Evans started in 15 games, including 11 of Vanderbilt’s final 12 games. In 10 of his 15 starts, Evans played fewer than 20 minutes; twice, he started the game and played less than ten minutes. On the season, he averaged just 13 minutes per game and that doesn’t even include three games in which he didn’t get on the floor at all.
The easy answer is that on a team that wasn’t very good, Bryce Drew spent basically the entire season experimenting with different rotations.
