low-usage Jayhawk guard with steady spacing and walk-on grit
In the 2025-26 season, Wilder Evers was a deep backcourt option for Kansas, averaging 1.1 points on 60.0% shooting and 50.0% from three in limited minutes[1][5]. At 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, he brings size for a guard, stretches the floor, and has earned praise as a reliable depth piece rather than a high-usage creator[2][7]. The bigger differentiator is his walk-on-to-roster stay power: he is valued for toughness, team-first energy, and the kind of bench presence coaches trust when they need clean, low-drama minutes[8][11].
