Evans is much better than the average PG you'll find late in the first round.
Following potential 2017 draftees...
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
A year ago Giles and Thon Maker were considered the top two prospects of the class. A lot sure has changed. I don't think the medical test results have been released from the combine yet.

I would love this pick. Hed fit in perfectly with our identity. And could provide us with much needed emotion and energy. Something we sometimes lacked this year without Booker.
This. I wonder what the plan would be if we took him though.

I was hoping he'd be there at 42 but that's not happening anymore.

I prefer Frank Jackson to Juwan Evans.

I saw something on FB about the Jazz working out some guys, where they show how some names are pronounced.
One guy's name was pronounced Me True Long. I bet he's popular with the ladies.
Another guy's first name was pronounced Taco. Imagine if he ends up on the team and then the Jazz do a promotion where if they hold the opponent under a certain score, everybody gets a taco. That might be confusing.

Not a fan of Evans. Way too short.
Giles is way too injury prone. No thanks

Evans combination of size and his poor finishing numbers in college just make him a no go for me.

I have posted many times jazz don't need a traditional point guard. Frank can be successful with or with out the ball. Evans needs the ball in his hands to be successful.
Frank is bigger and it will be easier for him to guard on switches.

I think this is wrong. The Jazz could use a more traditional PG. Need another playmaker, just prefer one who isnt 5'11.

Or one that plays defense like the Jimmer.

Jackson is the superior athlete, has superior size, won't be a defensive liability, can play on and off the ball, and has far more potential.
Did we really learn nothing from the Trey Burke experiment about size? It matters.
If Evans was 6'3 he'd be a top-10 pick. That's really one of the only knocks on him. The thing is he is different from the usual undersized guards that go through the draft.

Let me just repeat, I really like Bell. Maybe not so much at 24. But definitely at 30. If he's still on the board at 30 we must take him.
Frankly, we could use his athleticism and range. Much more fluid than Favors or B-Boy and would serve as a valuable rim protector and range player who could defend stretch 4s. He'd be amazing to cover in the pick and roll. His work ethic and intangibles lead me to believe that he could work at his game and develop into a a very nice player. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being one of the steals of that late 1st/2nd round. His athleticism alone would be good for a few dunks, a few extra possessions on the o-boards, a block or two a game.

That's a pretty good knock. Did we learn nothing from the Trey Burke experiment?
at 6 feet Evans will struggle to see over the top of defenses, won't be able to get his shot off in the lane, and will be a complete liability defensively. I'd rather go with a bigger athlete who at the very least can defend and play in the NBA. Jackson at the PG spot or Bell at the 4. Maintain our identity, stay long and athletic. No more Trey Burkes.
Evans is totally different player. That comparison is so lazy.
