Jawun Evans — G (Oklahoma State)

At some point in this draft, Orlando is probably going to grab a point guard. If they do not address the need at six, Jawun Evans may be the answer at pick 25.

With the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Evans was a dual threat as a scorer and a distributor. With his 19.2 points per game and 6.4 assists per game, Evans could be a staple in Orlando’s rotations as early as next year.

There is still work to do if Evans wants to solidify an early role with the Magic. He needs to work on his outside shot. Evans can slash and blow by opposing guards. But without an outside shot, he will become a predictable player on offense.

Last season, the point guard position was a huge problem for the Magic. Elfrid Payton played poor defense and D.J. Augustin did not play up to his new four-year contract.
