Duke wing Isaiah Evans has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft, Jordan Richard of Swish Culture reports.

The university’s basketball program confirmed the report.

Evans is a 6-foot-6 wing shooter who spent two seasons with the Blue Devils. He made the 2025-26 All-ACC third team after making the third-most threes in the conference this season.

He averaged 15.0 points and 3.2 rebounds while knocking down 36.1% of his 7.4 three-point attempts. Last season, in a more limited role, he hit 41.6% of his threes on 4.1 attempts.

Evans currently sits at 21 on ESPN’s big board, and Jeremy Woo describes him as a gifted movement shooter with good positional size. The 20-year-old from North Carolina is very thin, weighing in at 175 pounds, which has raised questions about his ability to hold up defensively against stronger wings. Still, he was an active defensive playmaker in college and showed solid instincts, averaging 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks this year.

College underclassmen who want to go pro or test the NBA Draft waters have until the end of this Friday to file their paperwork.
