With offseason basketball camps in full swing, NBA scouts have given plenty of early thoughts on the 2024-25 Blue Devils.
After sharing his impressions of Sion James, Tyrese Proctor, and Kon Knueppel this week, Draft Express’s Jon Chepkevich compiled his take on incoming freshman Isaiah Evans on Thursday.
“Evans was an absolute killer during constraint-based isolation drills at the Tatum Elite Camp,” Chepkevich wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Knocked down contested shots as you might expect, but more notably brought a ton of fire, fight, and pride defensively.”
Evans’ competitive spirit should come as no surprise to Duke fans who’ve kept an eye on him throughout his senior season in high school. The two-time North Carolina Mr. Basketball turned heads earlier this year for jawing with some UNC fans at one of his high school games.
The five-star signee clearly cares about Duke’s biggest rivalry already, as he also tossed out a jab at Tar Heels starter Cormac Ryan during the McDonald’s All-American Game media sessions.
