Duke's Isaiah Evans was selected 33rd overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2026 NBA Draft on June 25. The Timberwolves acquired the pick from the Brooklyn Nets as part of the trade that involved Julius Randle. Despite being projected higher, Evans' lack of secondary skills pushed him to the second round, although he is noted for his perimeter shooting ability. His draft status indicates teams question his secondary contributions on defense and playmaking. Evans will look to establish his role in the NBA immediately, starting with outside shooting.
