Future Duke Basketball Wing Knocks Down 10 Threes in One Game
Duke basketball's individual record for made 3-pointers in a single contest sits at nine. Shane Battier set that record versus Princeton on Nov. 14, 2000, and JJ Redick matched the total versus Texas on Dec. 10, 2005.
On Saturday night, future Blue Devil Isaiah Evans, a 6-foot-7, 185-pound silky forward who ranks No. 13 overall on the 247Sports 2024 Composite, drained 10 beyond the arc in a 32-minute game at Battle In The Peach in Atlanta.
The North Meck (N.C.) five-star senior finished the 94-57 win over Holy Innocents Episcopal (Ga.), featuring the No. 4 overall 2025 prospect in five-star Duke basketball target Caleb Wilson, with 36 points, six rebounds, and eight assists.
As Evans' future coach, Jon Scheyer, recently noted, his passing is an "underrated quality."
Check out Evans' sizzling highlights from the victory:
Isaiah Evans, who committed to Duke in April and inked his national letter of intent during the early signing period in November, is one of five 2024 preps on board with Scheyer and the Blue Devils.
All five are top-60 prospects in the cycle, comprising the nation's top-ranked haul.
That group includes No. 1 Cooper Flagg, a Montverde Academy (Fla.) five-star forward. Sitting three spots below Evans is Wisconsin Lutheran five-star forward Kon Knueppel at No. 16. Then, Duke's two Paul VI Catholic (Va.) prizes, five-star center Patrick Ngongba II and four-star forward Darren Harris, rank No. 22 and No. 57, respectively.
