2025 NBA mock draft: Sixers select Isaiah Evans No. 35 overall

[ASFN Admin]

The most important draft pick concerning the Philadelphia 76ers will be whether they keep their top 6 protected pick when the lottery rolls around on May 12. However, there is one guaranteed pick they have at the moment and that's the No. 35 pick in the second round.

The Sixers have found some second-round gems as of late. Most notably Shake Milton, Paul Reed, and Adem Bona as examples so one has to wonder if the Sixers can hit another second-round pick.

A mock draft performed by Bleacher Report has the Sixers selecting Duke forward Isaiah Evans:

Isaiah Evans had a quiet NCAA tournament, and scouts had been hoping to see him receive more minutes. Going back to high school, there is still plenty of evidence of high-level shotmaking, and he's shown that when given extended minutes at Duke.

Evans isn't likely to offer much else, but a 6'6" wing and movement shooter should find a role scoring from off the ball.

As a freshman for the Blue Devils, Evans averaged 6.8 points and 1.1 rebounds while shooting 41.6% from deep. Some view him as one-trick pony of sorts, but if that one trick is going to be him knocking down 3s at an efficient rate, then he's going to be able to carve out a space for himself in the league.
