Early life and high school
Early life
Jacob Evans III was born on June 18, 1997, in Jacksonville, North Carolina.[1] He is the son of Theresa Chatman-Evans and Jerry Evans, and has two older brothers, Demarquis and Devin Chatman.[8] His mother, a single parent who worked multiple jobs to support the family, played a significant role in fostering his determination and work ethic from a young age.[9] Evans' family relocated to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, shortly after his birth, where he spent his early childhood.[9] There, he developed an early interest in basketball, beginning to play the sport at age four and quickly becoming dedicated to improving his skills at his family's home.[9] Influenced by watching his brother Devin play football at Tara High School, Evans also spent time at home imitating the moves of NBA stars like Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant, which helped spark his passion for the game.[10] His initial exposure to organized basketball came through local youth leagues and AAU teams in Baton Rouge, where he began competing and refining his athletic abilities prior to high school.[11] This early involvement laid the groundwork for his development as a player, leading him to continue his basketball journey at St. Michael the Archangel High School.[10]High school career
Jacob Evans attended St. Michael the Archangel Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from 2011 to 2015, where he emerged as a standout basketball player for the Warriors.[12] As a junior in the 2013–14 season, Evans transitioned to playing point guard and averaged 17.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 3.5 steals per game, helping the team reach the playoffs.[13] In his senior year of 2014–15, he shifted to shooting guard and elevated his performance, averaging 25.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while also contributing 3.6 steals per contest.[14][15] Over his high school career, Evans amassed more than 1,800 points, solidifying his reputation as one of the program's top scorers.[14] Under Evans' leadership, the Warriors achieved a 29–4 record in his senior season, marking the team's first appearance in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 4A state championship semifinals.[8] His contributions earned him several accolades, including the NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune All-Baton Rouge Area Large Schools Player of the Year and a selection to the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 4A All-State First Team.[14][15] Evans was recognized as a consensus four-star recruit by major scouting services, ranking as the No. 3 prospect in Louisiana by ESPN and earning an 89 composite rating from 247Sports.[16][17] His recruitment drew interest from multiple programs, including scholarship offers from the University of Cincinnati and the University of South Carolina, following official visits to several schools.[13] In October 2014, Evans committed to Cincinnati, where he signed during the early signing period the following month.[13][14]College career
Freshman season (2015–16)
As a freshman at the University of Cincinnati in the 2015–16 season, Jacob Evans played under head coach Mick Cronin, who emphasized a defensive-oriented system within the American Athletic Conference (AAC). Evans did not redshirt and instead contributed as a reserve guard, starting just 8 of his 33 appearances while averaging 24.4 minutes per game off the bench. His role focused on perimeter defense and versatile scoring, helping the Bearcats maintain one of the nation's top defensive efficiencies, allowing 63.3 points per game overall.[12][18][19] Evans averaged 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 37.2% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 80.4% from the free-throw line. He recorded 12 double-digit scoring outings, with his production increasing markedly in the final month of the regular season as he adjusted to the physicality and pace of college basketball. Early struggles with consistency gave way to developmental progress in rebounding and defensive contributions, including 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, which bolstered Cincinnati's league-leading defensive rebounding percentage of 77.5%. No major injuries hampered his season, allowing steady minutes as he adapted to Cronin's demanding practices.[12][8][19] Evans' efforts supported the Bearcats' 22–11 overall record (12–6 in AAC play, third place) and their bid for the NCAA Tournament, where they earned a No. 9 seed in the West Region. In the first-round loss to No. 8 Saint Joseph's on March 18, 2016, Evans delivered a career-high 26 points on 10-of-20 shooting to go with 9 rebounds in 37 minutes, nearly rallying Cincinnati to an upset in a 78–76 defeat. Other key performances included 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists against Butler on December 12. His late-season emergence as a reliable fifth option complemented starters like Gary Clark and Troy Caupain, contributing to the team's postseason qualification despite a challenging non-conference slate.[18][20][21][19]Sophomore season (2016–17)
In his sophomore season, Jacob Evans transitioned from a bench role to a full-time starter for the Cincinnati Bearcats, starting all 36 games and emerging as a key perimeter contributor. Building on his freshman experience where he averaged 8.4 points off the bench, Evans showcased significant growth, posting averages of 13.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game while playing 31.6 minutes per contest. His improved efficiency was evident in a 47.3% field goal percentage and 41.8% from three-point range, helping him score in double figures in 31 of those games.[8][12] The Bearcats enjoyed a strong campaign under coach Mick Cronin, finishing with a 30–6 overall record and 16–2 in American Athletic Conference (AAC) play to secure second place in the regular season standings behind SMU. Cincinnati advanced to the AAC tournament semifinals and finals, defeating Tulsa and UConn before falling to SMU in the championship game, earning an at-large bid as a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. There, the Bearcats reached the Sweet 16, beating Kansas State in the round of 32 before a narrow loss to UCLA. Evans' consistent production on both ends, including 1.3 steals per game, bolstered Cincinnati's strong defense, ranked 8th nationally in points allowed at 61.3 per game.[22][23] Evans had several standout performances that highlighted his development, including a 21-point effort in the Crosstown Shootout victory over rival Xavier on January 26, where he shot 7-of-16 from the field to fuel a second-half comeback win. In the AAC tournament semifinals against UConn on March 11, he again scored 21 points, adding four rebounds to help secure an 81–71 triumph. Another high note came early in the season with 25 points against Rhode Island on November 19, underscoring his scoring versatility against quality non-conference foes. He was also named to the AAC All-Tournament Team.[24][25][4]Junior season (2017–18)
In his junior season with the Cincinnati Bearcats during the 2017–18 campaign, Jacob Evans emerged as a key leader, starting all 36 games and delivering versatile contributions across the stat sheet. He averaged 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while playing 30.8 minutes on average, showcasing his development into a reliable perimeter defender and facilitator.[12] His scoring efficiency and defensive prowess helped anchor the Bearcats' backcourt, as he shot 42.7% from the field and provided steady production in high-stakes matchups. He earned AAC Player of the Week honors twice during the season.[26][4] Under head coach Mick Cronin, Cincinnati achieved a strong 31–5 overall record and went 16–2 in American Athletic Conference (AAC) play to claim the regular-season title. The Bearcats earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advancing past No. 15 Georgia State in the first round before falling to No. 7 Nevada 75–73 in the second round.[27] Evans' consistent play was instrumental in the team's defensive identity, which ranked 22nd nationally in points allowed per game at 57.7.[27] Evans capped his junior year by earning first-team All-AAC honors, recognizing his impact as the Bearcats' leading scorer and a multifaceted contributor.[3] Following the season's conclusion, he declared for the 2018 NBA Draft on April 1, 2018, initially without hiring an agent to retain eligibility, but ultimately forgoing his senior year to pursue professional opportunities.[28][29]Professional career
Golden State Warriors (2018–2020)
Evans was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft. He signed a four-year rookie scale contract with the team on July 1, 2018. As a versatile guard-forward out of the University of Cincinnati, Evans was viewed as a potential depth piece for the defending NBA champions, bringing defensive tenacity and perimeter shooting to the roster. During his rookie season in 2018–19, Evans appeared in 47 regular-season games for the Warriors, averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds per game in 8.5 minutes off the bench. He provided spot-up shooting and defensive contributions in limited minutes behind the team's star-laden backcourt, including during their run to the 2019 NBA Finals, where Golden State ultimately fell to the Toronto Raptors in six games. Evans was assigned to the Warriors' NBA G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, on multiple occasions that season, including in December 2018, where he averaged 11.3 points per game in 10 outings to further develop his game. In the 2019–20 season, Evans' role diminished further due to a series of injuries, including a left adductor strain in October 2019, a hip injury shortly after, and a broken nose and concussion in January 2020 that sidelined him indefinitely. He played in just 12 games, averaging 1.6 points per game in 6.0 minutes. Additional G League assignments to Santa Cruz followed, but his NBA opportunities remained scarce amid the Warriors' deep rotation and ongoing team injuries. On February 6, 2020, Evans was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves along with D'Angelo Russell and Omari Spellman in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and a protected 2021 first-round draft pick.Minnesota Timberwolves (2020)
On February 6, 2020, Jacob Evans was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves from the Golden State Warriors as part of a larger deal that also sent D'Angelo Russell and Omari Spellman to Minnesota in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, a top-three protected 2021 first-round draft pick, and a 2021 second-round draft pick.[30] Evans received limited opportunities during his brief stint with the Timberwolves, appearing in just two regular-season games in the 2019–20 season for a total of four minutes played, during which he did not record any points, rebounds, assists, or other statistics.[31] He was assigned to the team's G League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves, multiple times in February 2020—including on February 9, 19, and 22—to gain additional playing experience, and was recalled twice that month.[32] Evans did not participate in the NBA's bubble restart in July and August 2020, where the Timberwolves were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Heading into the 2020–21 season, Evans took part in the Timberwolves' training camp and preseason exhibitions, appearing in limited minutes across several games to compete for a roster spot. His time with Minnesota concluded on November 24, 2020, when he was traded to the New York Knicks along with Omari Spellman and a 2026 second-round pick in exchange for Ed Davis.[33] He was waived by the Knicks on December 9, 2020, without appearing in a game for the team.[34]G League stints (2021–2022)
Following his release from the NBA, Jacob Evans signed a short-term contract with the Erie BayHawks on January 26, 2021, becoming the New Orleans Pelicans' G League affiliate at the time. However, the BayHawks waived him on February 1, 2021, to accommodate the return of another player, resulting in no games played during this brief stint.[4][35] On February 23, 2021, Evans joined the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors' affiliate, for the tail end of the 2020–21 G League season conducted in a centralized bubble format. He appeared in four games, averaging 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 21.5 minutes per game, while shooting 51.5% from the field and 37.5% from three-point range. A standout performance came on March 2, 2021, when he scored a game-high 24 points on 9-of-12 field goals, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, in a win over the Erie BayHawks.[36][37] Evans remained with the Santa Cruz Warriors for the full 2021–22 season, providing depth as a guard-forward in 29 regular-season games. He averaged 6.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.9 minutes per game, with efficiency metrics including a 41.6% field goal percentage, 18.2% from three-point range, and 80.0% from the free-throw line. In the playoffs, he contributed in eight games, averaging 7.4 points and 2.6 assists in 27.3 minutes, though his three-point shooting dipped to 33.3%. A key rebounding effort occurred on January 28, 2022, when he recorded a career-high 14 rebounds in a loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.[36][6][4] Throughout these G League stints, Evans faced roster flux, including his quick waiver from Erie due to team acquisitions, which limited his playing opportunities and prevented an NBA recall amid heightened competition for spots. His overall contributions highlighted defensive versatility and rebounding, but inconsistent perimeter shooting—averaging around 20% from three across 33 regular-season games—posed challenges in establishing a dominant scoring role.[36][38]Edmonton Stingers (2024)
After spending the previous two seasons without a professional contract, following his G League appearances in 2021–2022, Jacob Evans signed with the Edmonton Stingers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) on May 9, 2024, as a veteran import player.[39][2] This move marked a brief return to North American professional basketball for the former NBA first-round draft pick, who joined the team ahead of their training camp on May 12 and the season opener on May 21.[40] In the regular season, Evans appeared in 16 games for the Stingers, averaging 7.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while playing 25.3 minutes on average.[41] His contributions helped the Stingers secure second place in the Western Conference with a 12–8 record, earning them a spot in the CEBL playoffs. Evans provided versatile scoring and playmaking as a guard-forward, including standout moments like a clutch three-pointer in a May 29 game and a highlight-reel block during the final regular-season matchup on July 29.[42][43] In the Western Conference Semifinals on August 4, 2024, the Stingers faced the host Saskatchewan Rattlers and were eliminated in a single-elimination loss, 96–83. Evans led the team in scoring with 13 points in that playoff game, adding eight assists and one rebound in 29 minutes of play.[44][41] His CEBL stint concluded with the end of the postseason in late July 2024, after which he pursued opportunities overseas.[45]BK Olomoucko (2024–2025)
On November 21, 2024, Evans signed with BK Redstone Olomoucko of the Czech National Basketball League (NBL) for the remainder of the 2024–25 season, leveraging his recent performance with the Edmonton Stingers in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. In his debut European professional stint, Evans quickly adapted to the league, averaging 16.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game across 38 appearances.[6] His scoring efficiency and defensive contributions helped stabilize the backcourt, with notable games including a 18-point, 14-rebound double-double on December 10, 2024, against NH Ostrava.[46] Evans reached his season and career high of 27 points on March 16, 2025, adding 8 rebounds in an 82–78 road victory over Sluneta Ústí nad Labem, showcasing his perimeter shooting and transition play.[6] This performance underscored his role as a key offensive option amid Olomoucko's push for postseason contention. BK Olomoucko finished the regular season with a 16–16 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the eighth seed. They advanced past BK Opava in the quarterfinals with a 2–1 series win, highlighted by a 90–81 Game 3 victory on April 21, 2025.[47] In the semifinals, they faced defending champions ČEZ Basketball Nymburk, winning the first two games before splitting the next two—including a 91–82 home win in Game 3 on May 8, 2025—before falling in Game 4 by a score of 63–106 on May 9, 2025, ending their campaign.[48] Evans' contract with the club expired at the conclusion of the season in summer 2025.[49]BC Slovan Bratislava (2025)
Following his time with BK Olomoucko in the Czech National Basketball League, Jacob Evans signed with BC Slovan Bratislava of the Slovak Extraliga (Tipos SBL) ahead of the 2025–26 season.[50] Evans appeared in four games for Slovan in the Tipos SBL, averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in 17.3 minutes of play.[51] He also featured in one game for the team in the European North Basketball League, recording 0 points, 1 rebound, and 1 block in 12 minutes.[51] His limited contributions included a 11-point performance on 2-of-6 shooting in a 93–69 win over Košice Wolves on October 11, 2025.[52] On October 17, 2025, Slovan released Evans by mutual agreement after determining he had not integrated well into the team dynamic, as stated by general manager Michal Ondruš.[53] As of November 16, 2025, Evans remains an unrestricted free agent, actively seeking opportunities for the remainder of the season.[50]Career statistics
NBA regular season and playoffs
