Wolves Steal First-Round Talent Evans in Draft Coup
Minnesota lands Duke sharpshooter Isaiah Evans with the 33rd pick, addressing a critical need and earning top marks for draft value.
The Minnesota Timberwolves executed a draft-night heist, selecting Duke sharpshooter Isaiah Evans with the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after acquiring the selection from the Brooklyn Nets. Evans, a 6'6" All-ACC selection who averaged 15 points per game as a sophomore, was widely projected as a first-round talent, giving the a significant value pick that directly addresses their need for floor-spacing. The move is especially timely with Donte DiVincenzo recovering from injury, and Evans' multifaceted scoring potential provides a cost-controlled young asset for a playoff-ready roster.
