Jawun Evans Signs With Agent, Forfeiting Option to Withdraw From Draft

There was still some question (probably more wishful thinking) that Jawun Evans may still decide to return for his junior season. That question has now apparently been answered.

It was really answered a couple of weeks ago, but it’s official now. According to a report from Michael Scotto, Evans has inked with ASM Sports.

Jawun Evans has chosen to be represented by ASM Sports, league sources told Basketball Insiders. He's a projected first-round draft pick.

We already knew that Evans would declare for the NBA Draft with the intention of testing the waters and gaining feedback from teams as to his fit and draft projection. But that still left the window open for the All-Big 12 point guard to withdraw before the April 10 deadline if he decided.

With the hiring of an agent, he automatically loses amateur status and no longer has eligibility according to NCAA rules.

ASM Sports also represents such NBA players as Kristaps Porzingis, Serge Ibaka and former Cowboys James Anderson and Markel Brown.

Evans has been projected by most mock drafts to be a late first-round selection.
