Isaiah Evans

[SkyBrickey]

He just needed a chance... His shot is almost unguardable. Nos if we can just find the Auburn shooters.

 

[Kjeffrey]

No one knows what Evans would have done had he played against UK and KU. However, it certainly seemed like he should have been given a chance since another freshman shooter was 0-8 and 1-8 in those games. After tonight I sure hope he gets more minutes.

For sure should have been given a chance, and I bet he would have helped us win at least one of those two, but better late than never! Very very happy for him.

Believed in you kid saw it early. It need to rub off on Kon man

Yeah, you could see it in his high school career. He's a major offensive talent and can score in bunches, not afraid of big games.

Showtime Slim puts on a performance.

18 points in 16 minutes is just wild.

I hope Scheyer fixes his rotations moving forwards.

 

[dlmzzz]

So, there are implications to Evans getting minutes.

Proctor(28)/James(23)/Foster(20)/Evans(16) accounted for 87 minutes.

It looks like Foster’s time decreased (and Sion started over him), and Gillis only played 5 minutes. Gillis didn’t even take a shot.

 

[SkyBrickey]

Yeah, I've been asking that question all season. It's easy to say who plays. But who sits?

 

[kAzE]

Gillis only played 5 minutes. Gillis didn’t even take a shot.

He got posterized real bad by Broome for an and-1, and I don't think he came back in the game after that. Tough game for Mason.

How many of those points and minutes were in the second half?

I suspect Auburn was on to him in the second half lol.

Seriously, it was nice to see that output for him. Loved watching him show out. However, he still had to show he can be more than just a three point shooter in order to get significant mins.

Evans was not the focus in the first half. He will get the Kon treatment now and production will drop like a rock. The question becomes: does he have Kon's chops to find ways to contribute Eden he has to carry a defender with him every time he moves.

I mean, can you really key your defense on two players at once?

 

[kshepinthehouse]

Exactly. Posters are saying Kon needs to come out because he’s not scoring. Even the threat of him is beneficial to our offense.

I like our odds if the opponent is keying on Kon and Evans. Cooper, Tyrese and Sion/Caleb should have a field day. Plus, whoever is the 5. Khaman or Maliq.

GoDuke!

Well we know he can't make a layup.

IE is our answer to the Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson from the Bad Boys era of the Pistons; at least he was last night.

Wish he would have dunked it

Not so sure about this. His release is quicker than Kon's. And I think we're going to see more deliberate screening action in our offense to get both open looks from here on out.

This thread did wonders for getting Evan some meaningful and productive minutes in a big game.

Now, how about that Darren Harris kid?!?
