Arizona State senior guard Shannon Evans II earned the Pac-12 Player of the Week for helping his Sun Devils defeat St. John’s and No. 2 Kansas en route to a top-5 national ranking.

Evans averaged 20 points and shot 52 percent overall — he additionally hit 8 of 15 threes — with 11 assists to one turnover.

The senior in his second season with ASU following a transfer from Buffalo scored 18 points to go with six rebounds and six assists in an 82-70 win over St. John’s on Friday in Los Angeles. He added 22 with five assists in a 95-85 victory over the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan.

Sun Devil guards have now taken the conference’s weekly award in three of the last four weeks, the first such run by ASU since point guard Eddie House won three consecutive Pac-12 honors in 1999-2000.

It also means players from one of the two Arizona schools have been given the award in every one of the first five weeks this season. Arizona’s Allonzo Trier won the award on Nov. 13 before Evan’s ASU teammate, senior guard Tra Holder, won the next two weeks.

Arizona center Deandre Ayton won the Pac-12 Player of the Week award last week.
