Is what I like to see, especially when our 3 point shooting is not doing well. Even if he is double teamed. He is a good FT shooter and get opposing team in foul troubles.

Sometimes Evan being aggressive results in a double/triple team and turnover. Evan is going to be a high draft pick for not forcing things and being enough of a threat to draw defense or fight for boards and put backs. Up to the guards to set the offense or punish a collapsing defense so Evan can operate with efficiency.

One thing I hope he does is take more of the wide open jumpers at 10-12 feet inside the key instead of trying to force it deeper into heavier traffic and as a result turning it over or missing an off balance shot. He has shown that he is deadly with that short jumper, and it is impossible to block.

I actually believe that his lack of aggressiveness is going to cost him a draft slot or two. it seems obvious to me. I've been calling for him to turn up his intensity for a while. Yes, Evan is ridiculously good and talented, but he needs to learn to use his talent and body to get to the free throw line more often - putting pressure on defensive players, getting them in foul trouble, and knocking down FTs at over 70%, which he's still doing. Evan needs to utilize pump-fakes to get to the FT line more, and he needs to commit to going to the basket with a few more moves each game. He still allows defensive pressure - often with only one defender - to prevent him from attacking inside. When he is able to get to the stripe for at least 10+ shots per game, and earn 8-10+ fouls per game, he will take that next step. It'll happen. I just hope it happens this season.

As a good example, Onyeka Okongwu went to the free throw line 21 times on Nov. 19, 2019, knocking down 17.
