Bryant wing & Baltimore native Barry Evans has been one of the most impactful transfers early this season. The 6’8” wing is averaging 15.8PPG, 6.5RPG & 3APG on an impressive 58.8% FG & 53.3% 3P shooting numbers.

Transfer from St. Bonaventure, Evans scored 25PTS (career-high) & pulled in 8REBS in the most recent win over Delaware.

My son is in 6th grade and just received his schedule for the upcoming year. There will not be a single minute of his school day regularly dedicated to him learning about his physical or mental health. We need to rethink what constitutes an education. This isn’t it!

@WarriorsMuse This thread is unbelievable!!! Great work @WarriorsMuse !! When one player can hit 3’s and score so fast while creating so many great shots for teammates in 3 quarters … the game is often over. Great example of Steph’s dominance.

The Baltimore STREAM Basketball Camp was a success. An amazing 2 weeks well spent ! 💙🧡
