Jeremy Evans on @utahjazz Twitter

If he gets into the dunk contest, please don't have people from the Utah Jazz front office choose what dunks he does... I know they come up with the ideas.
 
Heck I would've thought someone would've asked the obvious question, if he's made any plans yet to work with Malone or work out with him (weight lifting).

I think this is the year we need to find out if he is a playa or not. I'm all for letting him, Big Turkey and DFav be our bigs and let the chips fall where they may.

Hell yes!

I want to see a starting lineup of...

PG Burks
SG Hayward
SF Evans
PF Kanter
C Favors

with dennis backing up burks and Bullock backing up Evans.
 
Hi, I'm jeremy evans. I hate playing for the Utah Jazz. I'm their little community bitch boy and I never get to play. All I do is ball out when I get my chance, then its back to the bench, to play behind weak *** scrubs. Yay Jazz
 
Question: How does it feel to be a one trick pony in the NBA who only has a contract because he's good friends with a real player? What is it like to have delusional fans who think you are not playing because the coach is sniffing paint instead of the real reason of you actually not having any talent? Finally, how have you been able to play basketball for this long without actually knowing how to dribble the ball?

I think the questions are fair.....

(if you read this jeremy, don't be too offended, just prove me wrong this year)

You do realize that Jeremy played like 30 minutes this entire year and most of them were 2-3 minute spurts? How the hell can he show anything in the minutes he got?
 
One of the forgotten depressing things about last season was watching Evans have a hell of a game (granted it was a home game against Charlotte, but still) and then watching him get rewarded with a firm plant on the bench.
 
You know what Evans is? a 6'9 200 lb center. That's about what his mobility is. Sure he can jump like a kangaroo but I have never seen him succeed in dribble penetration or lateral quickness.
 
I'm aware that evans has some fairly clear issues, but whenever i actually see him play, he seems to do a pretty good job. would love to see him get more minutes.

Valid observation, although you need to work on your tact. I don't see Evans as a solid rotation player, either. But every team has to have at least 13 players and only 9 or so play in games. By all accounts, Evans is a great guy. He's going to Podunk towns to promote Jazz basketball. He energizes the crowd when he enters a game. If not Evans, the Jazz would have another vet or some Orlando summer league survivor signed to a minimum deal...and also parked on the bench. Since the Jazz gave him a multi-year contract, they obviously feel his PR skills are even more important than what he does on the court.

Tact? On this message board? All I'm doing is throwing some of it back at some posters. My rant is very eerily similar to how other posters comment on Ty Corbin, the guy who has prepared Favors, Kanter, and Hayward for significant roles on the team while either making or almost making the playoffs at the same time when he has a whole year to work. Sure, Jeremy has some weaknesses, so does Ty. Sure, Jeremy has strengths, so does Ty. I will say this; I think that Ty's ceiling is higher then Jeremy's, yet Ty gets all the hate posts and everyone dotes on Jeremy like he is their little brother. As long as both continue to learn and develop, they can both grow with the team and who knows, maybe we'll get somewhere.

the difference being what we expect from the two in their respective positions.
 
The more minutes Evans gets, the higher our draft pick gets this next year.
