Height: 6-9
Weight: 200
College: Oregon
Classification: Junior

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Decent scorer off the dribble
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker for his size
Solid rebounder for his size
Decent defender
Above average athlete

Cons:

Needs to improve his shooting
Can be reluctant to take outside shots
Can struggle to score in traffic
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Can tend to over-dribble, which can lead to turnovers
Can be too passive on offense
Can have lapses defensively

Summary:

Kwame Evans is a tall, athletic swingman that currently plays for Oregon. He is an athletic, energetic forward that can make hustle plays on both ends of the floor, and he is a rangy defender that can guard multiple positions. He will need to improve his jump shot and be more consistent in games, but he is a promising combo forward that could end up going in the second round range in the 2026 draft.
