gritty, high-motor UConn guard with scoring punch and glue-guy value
R.J. Evans arrives at UConn as a proven producer from Holy Cross, where he was a 1,200-point scorer and averaged 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in his final season, showing he can do a little of everything from the backcourt.[7] Early in his career, he already flashed advanced defensive instincts and toughness, piling up 2.8 steals and 8.4 rebounds per game in high school while scoring 27.7 a night, which points to a player who competes hard, impacts winning in multiple ways, and fits best as a relentless, high-energy rotation guard.[9]
