April 13, 2010 - 1:50 AM ET
Tyreke Evans joined Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, and LeBron James as the only rookies to average 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game on Monday.
He scored 24 points on 8-of-23 shooting to go with six rebounds, four assists, and three steals, and missed 10 shots in row before securing the record in front of the home crowd at the foul line. He is the odds-on favorite to win the ROY award, and won the respect of his peers who often said he had "grown man moves."
