(KNFL/KFGO/AP) – It took a little longer than he had hoped, but Duke’s Isaiah Evans has his landing spot in the NBA draft.
The sophomore guard is heading to Minnesota, coming after the Brooklyn Nets selected Evans with the 33rd overall pick in Wednesday night’s second round with a pick that will be shipped to the Timberwolves as part of a pre-draft trade.
The 6-foot-6, 186-pound Evans had a seat in the green room through Tuesday’s first round, but ultimately spent a difficult night without hearing his name called by league commissioner Adam Silver to join him on stage in New York.
Evans wasn’t among the list of attending prospects released by the NBA for Round 2.
