Versatile Bearcats wing who brought size, playmaking, and two-way edge
In his Cincinnati years, Jacob Evans III stood out as a 6-6 guard/forward who could score, facilitate, and defend multiple spots, leading the Bearcats in assists at 3.1 per game in the 2017-18 season while also adding 4.7 rebounds and 60 made threes. He was viewed as a tough, NBA-ready connector with length and composure, which helped him become a first-round pick in 2018. For a team, that profile screams positionless fit: smart, switchable, and competitive, with a polished all-around game rather than flashy isolation scoring.
