Evan Gilyard II brings proven shot-making and lead-guard poise to Kansas City
Gilyard is a compact, veteran point guard whose calling cards are scoring punch, free-throw reliability, and playmaking—he averaged 16.7 points and 2.29 made threes per game in his 2021-22 Kansas City season, then carried that experience into pro stops where he has shown he can run an offense and hit timely shots. His value goes beyond the box score: he has a track record of high-usage minutes, multiple 20-point games, and big-shot confidence, which makes him a fit for teams needing an experienced creator rather than a pure developmental project.
