Isaiah Evans de Duke y Henri Veesaar de UNC caen a la segunda ronda

El alero de Duke, Isaiah Evans, y el pívot de North Carolina, Henri Veesaar, ambos proyectados como selecciones de primera ronda, quedaron fuera de la ronda inicial del Draft de la NBA de 2026 el martes por la noche.

Evans promedió 15 puntos por partido como titular en su segundo año con los Blue Devils. Veesaar registró máximos de carrera de 17.1 puntos y 8.7 rebotes mientras jugaba para los Tar Heels.

Ambos jugadores dejaron pasar grandes oportunidades de NIL para ingresar al draft de manera anticipada. Veesaar rechazó una oferta valorada entre 3.5 y 4.5 millones de dólares para regresar a North Carolina, con informes que indican que podría haber ganado cerca de 5 millones de dólares a través del portal de transferencias.

Evans esperó en la 'green room' durante la primera ronda sin que se mencionara su nombre. Fuentes cercanas a Duke describieron su paquete de NIL como comparable al de Veesaar, aunque menor.

Se espera que ambos jugadores sean seleccionados al inicio de la segunda ronda este miércoles.
