My Take
Dwayne Evans is the kind of player who quietly built a career most basketball fans in the U.S. probably slept on — which is exactly why I find him interesting. Out of Bolingbrook, Illinois, he put together a solid college run at Saint Louis University, earning All-Atlantic 10 honors, and then did what a growing number of skilled American players have done: took his game overseas and made it work. Playing for the Hiroshima Dragonflies in Japan's B.League, he became a real contributor on a team that has steadily risen in the league's competitiveness. At 201 cm he has the frame to impact both ends of the floor, and there's something genuinely admirable about a guy who commits fully to a professional life far from home. Not a household name, but a legitimate pro who figured out the global game — respect for that.
