I agree that Evelyn and his 28 points in the final were a big reason why Southfield Christian captured its third straight Class D title, but the bottom line is that Evelyn is a good player, not a fantastic player, and going to play for Keener because he has college contacts is a joke.

Bakari has a legit shot for playing time here as the roster is in flux. However, with Parker established and Watson billed as the real deal it's very possible he doesn't crack the rotation ala Tarin Smith a lot of the year and he gets some chirps in his ear about leaving. You can spin this into a positive or a negative several different ways IMO.

If he can shoot the three with any sort of consistency he might have a better chance at playing time in the 2 spot.

I keep hearing from people, including Miles, that 3pt shooting is a strength of BE.

Guy with PG vision who can knock it down from outside? This pickup keeps growing on me.

Has anyone found and posted any stats for Bakari?  I know he only played in 9 games in AZ, but apparently shot the ball really well.  I'd like to know more about number of attempts and makes.  Anyone?

He was around 25ppg, IIRC

I'm guessing this video has been posted somewhere, but check this pass at :38. I don't think there's anyone on the roster who can make this pass. Not sure the PG who just left could either.

Passes from Bakari at 1:45 and 2:53 were also particularly well done as a back-cut feeder & a post feed. Looks like a hidden gem that NU got late!

It appears to me that he is the receiver and not the passer on that play.

That's what my eyes see as well. Bakari is #4 and on that play #1 passes to #4 who finishes.

Here is Evelyn playing against some team that isn't very good.

He is making it rain in this particular game

I could play better defense than that

Good for Bakari.  Underrated recruit coming out of HS.
