Duke basketball star never lacked confidence, always knew he was 'that dude'

There are some players who shy away from the big shot in a game if things aren’t going their way and it’s very clear that Duke basketball sophomore Isaiah Evans is not one of those players.

After a struggle in the second game of the season for Evans, missing all five of his 3-point field goals and making just 1-of-8 shot attempts, he exploded for 17 points in the Blue Devils victory over Army on Tuesday night.

The sophomore set the tone in the first half, which carried over to a dominant second half.

It’s the evolution in his game that everyone was hoping to see when he announced he would be returning to the program for his sophomore season, except for Evans because he always knew he had this in him.
