Kings Excited About Evans
June 25, 2009 by Andrew Nicholson
Outside a celebratory Sacramento Kings “War Room,” President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie had the following to say about the team’s choice of guard Tyreke Evans with the 4th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft:
“We think he’s a great, great prospect and has a chance to develop into a real star. He was the best freshman in the country this year. He led his team to 27 straight wins as a point guard. He has great potential at the defensive end because of his length and his physical presence out there. I think another great thing about this is from the time we interviewed him onto the workouts, he always was very consistent in his desire to come to Sacramento and that was really his number one choice as well. I think the fans are just going to love watching this kid play and develop and he’ll be a multi-position player, I think, as things go along, so we’re really excited about it.”
