Rookie Evans Struggles: 0-for-15 Shooting Blunder
14 Jul
Summary
- Isaiah Evans struggled significantly in his NBA Summer League debut.
- He shot 0-for-15 from the field and 0-for-9 from three-point range.
- Despite the poor start, his rookie contract is guaranteed for three years.
Isaiah Evans, a standout from Duke, has experienced a challenging beginning to his NBA Summer League campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves. After missing the team's initial game due to a pending trade, Evans' debut performance was disappointing.
He struggled immensely with his shot, tallying just four points on a dismal 2-for-15 shooting performance, including an 0-for-9 record from three-point territory. His second game on Monday night saw no improvement, as he was held to two points on 0-of-8 shooting, missing all six of his three-point attempts.
Despite these early shooting woes, Evans' NBA future has some stability. His rookie contract is guaranteed for the initial three seasons, with a team option for the fourth year. This provides him ample time to work on his game and demonstrate his potential. Evans and the Timberwolves are scheduled to face the Indiana Pacers next on Wednesday.
