Evans signed with the Grizzlies for $3.29m in the offseason. At 6ft 6in, he primarily plays in the small forward or shooting guard positions. Mike Conley's injury has since seen him step up to play as their point guard, which has also helped his development as a player too.
There are major improvements to his overall game and he has been posting numbers that we have not seen since the 2014/15 season. With some big performances against tough opponents, this move may be the confidence boost that Evans needed to take his game to the next level. We will have to see how Evans adapts his play once Conley makes his return to the starting lineup, but it's already clear that the Grizzlies got a steal in acquiring Evans' services.
