Duke basketball fans are going to love [autotag]Isaiah Evans[/autotag] in the fall.
The five-star prospect, one of six signees in Duke’s highly regarded 2024 recruiting class, has already traded barbs with North Carolina fans at his high school basketball games and future Tar Heels players.
With Evans in Durham for Mike Krzyzewski’s K Academy, the Duke basketball team knew they had no choice but to give Evans a microphone as he watched the camp’s games.
Despite being a newcomer, Evans slipped comfortably into his place on the sidelines. He poked fun at a player for missing his first three shots and celebrated the best moments, jumping out of his seat and high-fiving players in all the right moments.
In fact, all the moments he celebrated on the court led to a funny moment later on in the video.
“Y’all doing stuff I ain’t never seen y’all do before,” Evans said to the players, mimicking a crossover he just witnessed.

No matter his role on the 2024-25 squad, the video showed Evans will endear himself to the Cameron Crazies even when he isn’t on the court. He’s not just a witty personality, either, as he was voted the best high school men’s basketball player from Charlotte in the past 40 years after he won North Carolina Mr. Basketball twice in a row.
