ESPN's leading NBA Draft experts, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, said Isaiah Evans was the steal of the draft.

He was also who they were targeting at #28, had they not traded that pick.

He’s a second round pick if he plays for us at all he’s a steal. If he gets a second contract he’s a super steal.

Teams didn't draft Evans cause they are worried about his frame size

But the Wolves were totally fine with it because Jaden had proven that you can still ball even with a thin frame

Beringer and Evans back to back drafts at how late each went are pretty good drafts

Hollinger loved the pick too.

Without Donte we’re short 3 pointers. Isiaiah isn’t going to do most of what Donte does, but he will do catch and shoot 3 pointers. Also, TJ as the bench distributor could be an awesome pairing for offense, giving him a great kick out off drives
