Celtics expected to draft Duke guard Isaiah Evans at NBA Draft
Summary

The Boston Celtics are predicted to select 6-foot-6 shooting guard Isaiah Evans in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft on Tuesday night. Evans, who played two seasons at Duke, demonstrated strong 3-point shooting skills, ranking near the top in corner 3-pointers among ACC players last season.

This year, Boston holds the 27th pick, with potential trade discussions involving Giannis Antetokounmpo also in play.
