With fans wearing white t-shirts that said "REKE ROY" and his face on cardboard sticks, Evans lived up to the hype in Arco Arena. He said "It reminded me of college back at Memphis. It was a college atmosphere out there. I had fun with it."
The crowd chanted "R-O-Y" throughout the game at the 6'6" guard who averages 20.3 points, 5.5 assists and 5 rebounds. Kings coach Paul Westphal encouraged Evans to find scorers late in the game so he could get his first triple double on his featured night.
The highlight bucket of the night also went to Evans with this over the backboard baseline runner.
Evans and the Kings face 2007 Rookie of the year Brandon Roy & the Blazers on Friday night.
