The option for Jon Scheyer is coming in Isiah Evans who currently attends North Mecklenburg High School is class of 2024.

Evans has as much long-term upside as any wing in the class. He’s a late-bloomer who has grown several inches since coming into high-school and now has excellent positional size. He’s still filling out and building up his body, but has a very long and lanky frame, that may always be narrow through the core. Nonetheless, he covers the court well, is a fluid mover, and adequate athlete for the highest levels.

Offensively, he has an ability to shoot over top of contesting defenders and get his shot off virtually any time he wants. That can be a double-edged sword though as he can settle for a lot of tough-twos and become inefficient in the process. He loves the mid-post area and has good footwork with his back to the basket, but has suspect shot-selection as he loves to spin into mid-range fade-aways. He has soft natural touch as a shooter, and is already an excellent free-throw shooter, but can sometimes lose loft on his ball from three when not getting his legs involved enough. He’s fluid with the ball and can dance with his handle, but doesn’t always have the first-step to blow right by a set defender. The most underrated part of his game is his passing ability as he uses his size to see over top of defense and shows flashes of making some high-level finds.

Defensively, his positional size, length, and fluidity should all translate, especially as he builds up his body, but he’s probably more playmaker than stopper right now with a good nose for the ball but less interest in consistently sitting down in a stance.

Overall, Evans has immense two-way tools and could still be in the very early stages of putting them all together. He needs to keep getting stronger, more efficient, and being able to consistently impact winning on both ends of the floor. If it all comes together ideally though, he could end up a big wing who scores at multiple levels, can be a secondary playmaker, and potentially versatile defender.
