Jacob Evans

[RedDog]

The few times I caught summer or preseason games, he looked like a deer in the head lights and was playing with zero confidence. If he wasn't a first round guaranteed investment he would be headed to the development league. I hope he grows a pair and earns his roster spot. In hind sight, Jacob and Gary should be in reverse positions. Lets hope Jake settles in and proves he belongs.

Jacob scored a DNP in his debut with the Warriors.

If I was a Golden State fan I would be pretty disappointed by these numbers from our first round draft pick. However... the guy drafted right after him (Dzanan Musa) posted worse stats. http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4348696

These are the NBA preseason lines for Jacob. Honestly it's not at all encouraging. Not sure if he's still semi-hurt or struggling with the new shot mechanics or what. Maybe it's the confidence thing he's always had a little bit of an issue with. In any case this is rough.

Next game for GSW is 10:30 on Fri night on ESPNU. Don't know Jacob's status for that one

Looks like they're trying to heal him. DNP last night

This article is paywalled but Anthony Slater wrote up the Golden State current siutation a couepl of dsaysa ago and addresses Jacob's shooting issues. Still not convinced he's healthy and according to the article he still has a toe issue and rib bruise.

Jacob plays at 10:30 on NBATV tonight

This is really sub par stat line for Jacob. 3rd game in a row. Something's off. Anyone catch the game last night? Looks like the whole GSW team had a bad time.

Second game in a row with a weird line from Jake. Has to be something wrong or his new shot form has left him.

I thought he looked very passive on the court on offense last night. However, I have no idea what the coaching staff told him to do. He's hanging out at the 3 pt line a lot and the other guys on his team aren't giving up the ball when he's open. GSW spends a lot of time outside the line so he may be the one who's is doing it right. That said, when he gets a wide open look, he got to sink the shot and he was not doing that in the parts of the game that I saw last night.

At this point. Jacob looks lost and overwhelmed. There are a few rookies looking pretty good, but most of the guys excelling in the summer league are second or third year players.

Jake with an off shooting night last night. 25% from the Field. The Box has him listed as starting at PF (?!?)
