After Tyreke Evans’ first career triple-double sparked the Sacramento Kings to victory, coach Paul Westphal raved about how the rookie guard has a chance to alter the direction of the franchise. The Portland Trail Blazers know all about that kind of impact player. After riding former rookie of the year Brandon Roy to their fifth win in six games, the Blazers look to continue the surge and tighten their hold on a playoff spot Friday night when they visit Evans and the Kings. The fourth overall pick in the draft, Evans appears to be the leading candidate to be named the league’s top rookie with averages of 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists. The 6-foot-6 20-year-old out of Memphis had 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday, helping Sacramento snap a three-game losing streak with a 113-90 victory over Toronto.
Roy was a runaway rookie of the year in 2006-07, when he averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists. In his first three seasons, he transformed the Blazers from a perennial lottery team to last year’s Northwest Division co-champs. Though injuries have decimated Portland this season, the team is still in playoff position - largely because of Roy.
