It's been a big week for Duke basketball fans, as the NBA Draft Lottery has set the stage for where some of the Blue Devils' brightest stars might land. While all eyes are on projected top-three pick Cameron Boozer, it's sharpshooter Isaiah Evans who's quietly making the biggest leap up draft boards.

According to a recent mock draft from Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman, Evans has climbed from a late-first-round projection to a more secure spot at No. 25 overall, now slotted to join the Los Angeles Lakers. Just days earlier, Wasserman had Evans going to the Dallas Mavericks at pick No. 30—a sign that the sophomore's steady production is catching the attention of NBA scouts.

Evans has been a scoring machine for Duke this season, averaging 15 points per game and proving himself as one of the most reliable perimeter threats in college basketball. His ability to stretch the floor and create his own shot has made him a valuable asset, and it's no surprise that teams are taking a closer look as the draft approaches.

With the NBA Draft Combine drills kicking off on Tuesday, May 12, Evans has a golden opportunity to boost his stock even further. A strong showing in athletic testing and shooting drills could see him rise even higher in the final mock drafts, potentially cracking the top 20.

For Duke fans, it's an exciting time to watch how these two stars—Boozer and Evans—navigate the pre-draft process. Whether you're rocking a Blue Devils jersey or just love following the next generation of NBA talent, keep an eye on Isaiah Evans. He's proving that hard work and clutch shooting can take you a long way.
