The Philadelphia 76ers are exploring options for the upcoming 2026 NBA draft, aiming to enhance their roster with the No. 22 pick. Duke guard Isaiah Evans is among the potential prospects, known for his elite shooting ability, having shot 36.1% from three-point range overall and 39.3% in conference play. The Sixers acquired this first-round pick through a trade involving Jared McCain. Evans, who combines size and a high basketball IQ, could help alleviate pressure on established players like Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. However, his reliance on catch-and-shoot opportunities and streaky shooting will require development as he transitions to the NBA.
