Isaiah Evans

Draft Notes

A long and talented big wing who can get really hot shooting the ball and has the size to get his shot whenever he wants.

He’s got a pure release, range on his jumper and a great feel for scoring the rock.

Has a ton of length and a long wiry frame. Needs to add strength but plays with toughness and isn’t afraid of contact.

Has all the upside in the world and is starting to round out his game and become more of a play-maker.

After being a possible late first to early second round pick he chose to return to Duke for a second season.
