Notes: 2009: Selected by Sacramento in 1st round (4th overall) of the NBA Draft...2010: NBA Rookie of the Year; NBA All-Rookie First Team.
The consensus National Freshman of the Year, Evans was named to five Freshman All-America teams as well, prompting him to apply for the NBA Draft after such a short stint with the Memphis Tigers...A finalist for both the Wooden Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy, Evans was the only first-year player to earn such high praise and recognition...The 2009 Conference USA Freshman of the Year and a member of the All-C-USA First Team, Evans was an AP All-America honorable mention as he led the Tigers in scoring with 17.1 ppg...More than just a scorer who forced his way into the paint on many possessions, Evans set the program record for freshmen in terms of steals with 77...Averaged nearly five and a half rebounds and four assists per contest, shooting 45.5 percent from the field along the way...A true talent with a ton of energy, Evans needs to work on his perimeter accuracy in order to be a true force at the pro level. |
