Real Madrid has a new target to strengthen the squad: Shannon Eugene Evans II. According to David Camps (Onda Cero), the white team is close to signing the base (28 years old and 1.85 m), who currently plays for Real Betis (renewed this summer) and who averages so far this season 20, 3 points (27.3% in triples) and 8.3 assists for a PIR of 23. The operation, according to the Onda Cero journalist, would be around 1.2 million euros.

The American would not be considered a foreigner because he has a Cotonou passport, specifically from Guinea, and he would strengthen a somewhat weak point guard position on the team that currently only has Sergio Rodriguez as a pure point guard due to the injuries to Nigel Williams-Goss and Carlos Alocén.

Evans, who studied at Buffalo and Arizona State, landed last season at Betis after passing through Hungary (Atomeromu, 2018-20), France (Pau-Orthez, 2020) and Turkey (Bahcesehir Koleji, 2020-21). And his impact was key for the Andalusian team. He played 34 games with 17.4 points (30.6% from three pointers) and 6.8 assists for an average PIR of 19.1.
