In a surprise move, Duke University's Isaiah Evans has been selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA draft. The 6'7" forward was not a highly touted prospect heading into the draft, but his impressive performance in college has earned him a spot on an NBA roster. Evans will look to build on his collegiate success, where he averaged 9.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, as he joins a Minnesota team that is looking to rebuild and return to playoff contention. With a strong supporting cast and a chance to learn from veteran players, Evans' selection could be a savvy move for the Timberwolves, potentially yielding a valuable contributor in the years to come.
