Evans has played double digit minutes in two games this season, and has played well and showed flashes of excellence in his limited time.
12 minutes of action against Wofford, Evans finished with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three point range to go along with a rebound and an assist. In 17 minutes off the bench against Seattle, Evans tallied 9 points on 2-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc.
Evans came into the Duke program as an elite shooter, arguably the best in his class. Through the preseason, he put that on display in practice and exhibitions with his catch-and-shoot ability.

Evans came into the Duke program as an elite shooter, arguably the best in his class. Through the preseason, he put that on display in practice and exhibitions with his catch-and-shoot ability.
This Blue Devils team has been possibly the best defensive squad in the country, so to get minutes, head coach Jon Scheyer is going to need to see defensive prowess from his guys.
His stats won’t jump off the sheet due to his limited action, but I’ve seen good defense from Evans in the time he’s been given. His 6′ 6″ lanky frame makes him a good matchup on smaller guards on the perimeter with his quickness and athletic ability.
Granted, Evans has only seen time in Duke’s “buy games.” The five-star didn’t see the court in either of the Blue Devils’ losses against #8 Kentucky or #1 Kansas
With another big matchup looming for the Blue Devils as they will host #4 Auburn, a team that’s looked better than any in the country so far this season, it will be interesting to monitor if Scheyer throws Evans onto the floor with Duke’s shooting inconsistencies in its tough matchups so far this season.
