Jawun Evans. 16. player. 24. <p>The Chicago Bulls are one of the few teams that really need a little bit of everything. Aside from Jimmy Butler, they have absolutely no one proven on the wings. With the possible impending departures of Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo, who may not want to stay after a season with more in common with a dumpster fire, they are in need of new recruits. They could opt for a young big man to invest in like Justin Patton out of Creighton or Jarrett Allen from Texas, but there’s more stability up front than in the backcourt.</p> <p>That’s why Chicago should go all in on Oklahoma State’s Jawun Evans. Evans won’t be Chris Paul or Isaiah Thomas, but he could be the next great small point guard. Evans stands under 6 feet tall, but possess a 6-foot-5 wingspan, which should allow him to work towards being at least an average defender. He’s less likely to be Thomas on defense.</p> <p>Offensively, there’s a lot to like. For example, Evans might be the best pick-and-roll point guard in this draft class not named Markelle Fultz.</p> <p>At Oklahoma State last season, Evans <a href=. PG. Oklahoma State
