Evans was on fire all day long for the Vikings. Isaiah dropped 39 points in a lopsided win over Westwood HS. He was able to connect on (7-10) from behind the three-point line while making (13-21) field goals. Evans is best as a catch-shoot guy at times but did show a variety of ways to score the ball at ease today. Evans has a long and rangy frame who really excels out on the perimeter as a small forward.

Russo-Nance originally from New Zealand has a great mid-range game along with the ability to knockdown shots from downtown. He really does a good job of using his frame to fight off defenders on the way to the cup.
