Kwame Evan’s rumors are starting to swirl fwiw 

Could be a piece. He would slot at the 4. I’ve not been over impressed so far but clearly size and potential talent is there.  Maybe we can get his PG too?

That would be the dream lol

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Altman and CDD are close too so maybe that could help

Do we really want 2 starters from a team that finished 15th in the conference?

Gonzaga mascot is also “Bulldogs” but they don’t (yet?) seem to have anyone in the portal 

Then there’s the Butler Bulldogs…

Deep dive into high school recruiting and mascots...Bosse Bulldogs!

They don't finish 15th if Jackson is healthy.

But okay—the ceiling is so high; wishing that Altman and staff was preventing him from optimizing his performance.

I don't think we can catch lightning twice taking a player Oregon.

Evans could be a very solid pick up depending on the price tag. 13 and 7 last year as a plus defender. Basically had the same offensive rating and usage as DeVries last year but a much better defender and rebounder. I suppose we paid close to $2million for DeVries. If you can get Evans for $1.5 or less it’s definitely a net upgrade.

Don’t need to catch lightning in a bottle with Evans. We wouldn’t (or at least I hope we aren’t) paying him to be our best player. He’s a complimentary 4 with good size and athleticism that rebounds and defends well for his position. Huge upgrade positionally in that regard from last year.

[Unexpectedflash]

I like Evans and he would be a good first piece. Feel like he fits what Devries wants in a 4 and actually has the athleticism to be a good defender. He only shot 30% from 3 last year but it was his most attempts ever. If he can get that up to 34-35% that’d be a real plus. His ft percentage indicates he should be a good shooter though so room for hope

I’m very confident that Evans would be a $2.5m+ acquisition.

I don’t love this. He’s gonna be expensive…don’t think the ROI is there. 
At 1.5M I’d like it. He’s definitely a B1G 4. 

Have to pay to get guys though, especially without a track record of success

I don’t see it. Maybe $2mil but I don’t see a contender paying that kind of money for a good but not elite piece. His agent has ties to Villanova and believe Georgetown is a team to watch as well but doubt either of them have the funds to shell out $2.5+ for a single player. Would love to have him but not someone I think you get into a bidding war for with all the pieces we need to add.
