Evans continues to make his case for the top prospect in all of high school basketball regardless of class as he was an absolute star playing up two age groups for Austin Rivers Southeast Elite. It’s truly so rare to see a prospect at this stage with the level of feel, skill, and natural physical gifts that he possesses. Evans is comfortable operating in ball screens, guarding multiple positions, and can really make splash plays above the rim with his athleticism. Evans finds a way to get all of his production within the flow of the game as well, never forcing the issue which is often a problem for talented young players. As his frame continues to fill out and his game gets even more refined, expect Evans to make a real case for himself as the top prospect in High School basketball over the coming years.

RJ Evans has a serious case for breakout underclassman of this year’s Adidas 3SSB Championships. He made a name for himself playing up two age groups with Austin Rivers Southeast Elite 17U in Rock Hill, averaging 22 points per game, 8 rebounds per game, and 3 assists per game while facing off with some of the most highly-touted prospects in the country. I got to see RJ in his true statement game – a 32-point outing in the second-round matchup with Garner Road – and it was clear to see he had as high a ceiling as anyone in the gym. Although his gifted scoring ability was on full display, I was equally as impressed with Evans’ feel for playmaking and taking smart shots despite being on fire in a tight game. RJ Evans is definitely a name to remember.

Evans Jr., like Brooks, is one of the nation’s top prospects in the rising sophomore class. He has high level length, size and athleticism which helped him score nearly 14 points per game for Austin Rivers SE Elite on the adidas 3SSB circuit this spring. Evans Jr. can create his own offense off the dribble, uses screens well and moves effectively without the ball. He is an advanced scorer who continues to trend up in the 2029 recruiting class.

Florida’s 2029 class is absolutely loaded with talent and Evans Jr already projects as a top national prospect in the 2029 class. I was so impressed with Evans Jr’s relentless motor as he seemed to never stop moving and making plays happen. With long strides on drives and in transition, Evans Jr is tough to stop in the open floor and when he’s able to get to the lane off the dribble. An efficient player, Evans Jr doesn’t force the issue and gets some easy looks by his consistent activity and movement. Also flashing 3-point shooting ability with a wing 3-pointer off movement, Evans Jr can score the ball in a variety of ways even as he’s playing up two age groups. When our 2029 national rankings drop in the Fall, Evans Jr will be near the top.

Likely the highest level prospect in the program, Evans is a high level scoring wing with excellent size and length. The freshman shows a strong feel for the game and the ability to score at all three levels, making him a tough matchup for defenders. With his combination of skill, instincts, and pedigree as the son of a former NBA forward, he has significant long term upside.

With a handful of 2029 prospects in attendance, this gave me the opportunity to see some of the top 2029 prospects in the country. Evans certainly stood out with his long wingspan and wirery frame that didn’t prevent him from getting his hands dirty by fighting for rebounds and defending multiple positions. Evans Jr played hard, didn’t force the issue and had good body language throughout the camp. When you combine those skills with intriguing offensive flashes and a frame that should fill out and you get a potential top player nationally. Florida’s 2029 class is stacked with four guys all with a serious case to make the top 10 of our national rankings when they release in the Fall.

The son of former NBA forward Reggie Evans, the freshman is a scoring wing with size and length who really knows how to play. Evans has good strength and can score at all three levels. He finishes through contact, is a capable rebounder at both ends and can guard multiple positions at the defensive end of the floor.
