Nick brings Jam back on the show to talk about Jam's recent article on Duke freshman Isaiah Evans. They start off by comparing Evans to Jordan Hawkins, and what Hawkins's path to the NBA might mean for Evans's own journey. Then, they dive deep into the specifics with Evans, including his exceptional shooting both as a spot-up threat and as a movement shooter. They cover his cutting ability, his current outlook on-ball offensively, and his potential growth in that area. Then, they discuss his defense, both as it stands now and where he could potentially stand to improve. Finally, they wrap up by looking at his future outlook, including his potential fit for Duke next season and how a hot run in March Madness could solidify his place in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.
