There’s no question the Bucks need to find their identity and if their identity is defense then Jacob Evans is their man. He’s a great defender who can guard multiple positions thanks to his size and length. He’s not an elite athlete, however, he knows his role without a doubt. He will need to continue working on his outside shot, but he showed great potential in college. He also works his tail off to do all the little things for his team.

In the link below, you can find his strengths, weaknesses, comparison and his fit on the Bucks:

Role with Bucks:

  • Lockdown defender on the second unit.
  • Hustle and glue guy
