The 2026 NBA Draft is just under a month away, with the first round scheduled to begin June 23. Duke's Cameron Boozer and Isaiah Evans are among the likely early selections in what could be a two- Duke-heavy first round, while Maliq Brown remains a fringe candidate. The NBA Combine, which concluded May 17, continues to influence front-office assessments, though teams differ on how much stock they place in on-court showings. Boozer, a 6'9" forward, posted 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.4 steals on 55.6% shooting with 39.1% from three, signaling high-floor potential. Evans, a 6'6" wing, averaged 15.0 points and shot 36.1% from three on 7.4 attempts.
