The Duke basketball program is gearing up for another Final Four run in 2025-26, and there are a plethora of key returners that head coach Jon Scheyer brought back who will be critical pieces of this season's squad. Potentially the most popular breakout candidate among Duke's returners is sophomore Isaiah Evans, and college basketball insider Jon Rothstein is calling the sharpshooter's breakout. Evans was one of the best three-point shooters in the ACC last year, connecting on 41.6% of his threes on 4.1 attempts a night. Evans will be thrust into a much more elevated role as a sophomore, and he has the potential to skyrocket his 2026 NBA Draft stock with how often he'll be utilized in the offense.
