Explosive is a word generally reserved for guys on the gridiron who hit on big plays for chunk yardage, be it receivers, quarterbacks or running backs, but it’s hard to not assign that same terminology to the impact that Isaiah Evans’ shooting has had on Duke’s offense as of late. Hitting 6-8 from beyond the arc against Auburn, Evans followed that up, going 9 of 15 in his next 4 games. The freshman wing is now shooting 51% from 3-point range on the season.
Of course there were calls on social media for the lanky 6’6 freshman to play right away and if you’d spent even 1 minute looking up his YouTube highlights and seeing his swagger and the electricity in his high school performances, it was must-see TV.
