Back to Jeremy:

this was posted to focus on alec, but the info on Evans is equally significant:

The other player they talked most about was Jeremy Evans. Several coaches commented that this is the best he's ever looked. He was noticeably thicker and displayed better overall strength. Evans is one of the few guys that has shown an increased vertical every year since entering the league. He's one of the young guys on the team who has been with P3 since he was drafted. In his initial assessment his rookie year, he could touch 12′ 2.5″ on his vertical jump. This past off-season he reached 12' 7.5”. That is the highest any athlete has ever touched with P3 and means he has increased his vertical five full inches since entering the NBA; he now boasts a 43.5 inch vertical. While Jeremy has always been exceptional with an approach, his ability to create force from a rested position or without the aid of the stretch shortening cycle has improved considerably. This has been their number one focus with him. He now has much greater jump diversity, as they call it. The fact that he hasn't peaked and keeps adding inches to his vertical every year is very positive.

That pretty much says it all. If there is an anti-Biedrins (opposite) as far as attitude, it's Jeremy, and if he improves his game as much as he has his body, maybe he will really get the time. (at PF while Kanter gets more time at C instead of backing up the PF.)
