Sean Evans

Thank you I appreciate it. Great win last night. Lets finish out the year strong.

Hopefully when all these alumni wrap up their careers they be court side at games
 
Great piece. I was at that blowout of Duke and remember Evans playing great when he was in there. Of course they all played great that game! Garden was wild and sent Duke fans home early.
 
Whatever happened to the poster that was in love with Evans (forget his name)?

Bobre. He hasn't posted much since his failed Sean Evans adoption

and the restraining order Evans took out against him.
 
Evans was a good guy, a beast of a body, but fundamentally not a very good basketball player. His upcourt out of control dribbling leading the break was an adventure at best, with a 50-50 chance he'd lose the ball or turn it over before getting much past midcourt. He never boxed out and relied instead on physical ability to rebound, often leaving defenders for easy putbacks. One of the transformative strategic moves was Lavin benching him for Brownlee, who was a rock solid option until he broke his finger, which basically help derail a team on the roll.

I would have to defer to Sleeveless dude, but I always believed that it was our band of loyal student fans who came up with the "Do It for DJ" t-shirts, and not Evans, but could be wrong.

Always felt he was a football player in a basketball uniform and his sheer athleticism at his height leading to any productivity he had on the court over and above limited basketball skills. Doesn't preclude him being a nice guy, but had Roberts coached the Lavin team 1 with both Hardy and Brownlee on the bench, that would be an NIT team IMO.
 
I had many of the same feelings Beast, which is why I find it all the more incredible, and great for Sean, that 8 year's later he's a starter for a team in the highest greek pro league. Good on him and his 13/9 stats (leading rebounder in the league)

Happy for him too. He didn't publicly complain about his demotion either.
 
I don't disagree with anything. He is playing in a high pro Greek League. Some college players end up developing more after college.

My biggest example was Lance Thomas on the Knicks. He developed a shot after college and made it to the NBA. Didn't attempt a three in college and added that to his game

Thanks for writing and sharing this. You are a great addition to this website.
 
Once again, I appreciate it. It has been an awesome ride so far. While I want to write about athletes all over the globe I found myself contacting St. John's alumni first.

Working on Justin Burrell and Andre Stanley!

Great website to share with fellow St. John's fans.

I was trying to get Jack W to do this with me a couple of years ago. He rightfully told me he wanted to focus on schoolwork. Sillly kid.
