Here are Wednesday’s G League assignments and recalls from around the NBA:
- The Spurs have recalled rookie shooting guard Lonnie Walker from the Austin Spurs, San Antonio’s G League affiliate, per an official release from the team. In 11 G League games, Walker has averaged 14.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest.
- The Warriors have also recalled their 2018 first-round draft pick, bringing rookie guard Jacob Evans back to Oakland from Santa Cruz earlier today. Evans, who has appeared in 20 contests with Golden State so far this season, is only averaging 4.3 minutes per game.
- In his first assignment of the season, Nets guard Treveon Graham was assigned to the team’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, in time for the team’s game earlier tonight. Graham scored 17 points and dished out eight assists in his return from a hamstring injury.
Evans has been a huge disappointment. There is NOTHING he does on either end of the court that indicates he is anything more than a garbage time player. He can’t shoot at all. Defensively he lacks lateral quickness. I don’t know what the Warriors saw in him that made them think he was worth using their 1st round pick on him.
