Big games tend to reveal who’s ready for responsibility, and Evan Bhatia keeps answering that call. The 2027 guard from George Bush (Fort Bend) has built a clear pattern this season—when the competition stiffens, his production rises.

Across a stretch of high-profile matchups, Bhatia consistently delivered scoring punch while staying active in every other column. He opened with 30 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals vs. Elsik, then followed with 27 points vs. Ellison and 27 points with 7 rebounds and 4 assists vs. Jordan. Those weren’t isolated nights; they were part of a sustained run that showed reliability against quality opponents.

What stands out most is balance. Along with scoring bursts of 24 points vs. Austin and 24 points vs. Cinco Ranch, Bhatia contributed rebounds, assists, and defensive activity, finishing possessions and creating extra ones. Even in lower-scoring contests like 21 points vs. Clear Spring, he found ways to impact the game beyond just buckets.

At 6'0, Bhatia plays with pace, confidence, and control, traits that translate well long-term. Combined with a 4.0 GPA, his profile reflects discipline both on and off the floor. As his role continues to expand, these big-game performances are starting to look less like flashes and more like a standard.
