A new feature on five-star wing Isaiah Evans shows what Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff are set to enjoy in their 'Slim' smack-talker.
The zeal of Isaiah Evans is not a question mark. Not at all. No, the 6-foot-7, 170-pound wing from Fayetteville, N.C., demonstrated his fire on the court time and again as a senior at North Meck High School, just north of Charlotte in Huntersville, on his way to becoming a McDonald's All-American andat what makes Evans a unique prospect includes mention of a sign to look for in his body language when he's about to erupt.
"Isaiah is a passionate kid," North Meck head coach Duane Lewis explained in the video. "If he starts clapping those hands , ooh, watch out. When he starts clapping those hands really loud, everybody knows, like, 'Oh God, he's in the zone right now.'... "He's as special of a high school player as I've seen. I just think with Isaiah, he just has a great personality...He has a competitive rage...Isaiah puts confidence in everyone.
"I think it's the only way I can play now," Evans, who proudly carries the "Slim" nickname and embraces his penchant for trolling opponents in entertaining fashion, noted in the feature about what drives his passion. "It was a long time period when I just wasn't good, bruh. Dudes used to talk trash to me...It sucks to suck, bro. Like, it really does. It sucks even more when someone is rubbing it in your face.
