But a well-informed source…former pro-basketball superstar and current Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson…let the cat out of the bag during last night’s City Council meeting:
“Before we get started I want to make one quick announcement. This is a fun announcement. I don’t know if you heard it or not – but Tyreke Evans got Rookie of the Year for the Sacramento Kings. I figure that’s a perfect topic to segue into this item.”
The “item” was the city’s Exclusive Right to Negotiate agreement with the backers of a land swap plan for a new Kings arena…which council members approved unanimously.
Kings guard Tyreke Evans is 21-years-old. He’s the fourth rookie in NBA history to average at least 20-points, five rebounds and five assists.
