Jeremy Evans. The new AK47

[b_line]

Jeremy Evans had a monster game tonight (for him). His line was what we came to expect nightly from Andrei kirilenko (minus a few points) with 8 points 7 rebounds 5 assists and 2 blocked shots.

If he gets the time next year, do we trust him as the first big off the bench? Maybe second big off the bench? Or is he just a spot player who gives us minutes at the four or three when injuries come up?

He has improved his game a lot from what I can see. He has added a jumper, rebounding and defense. When I say defense, I am not just talking about his spectacular blocks, but the way he was not getting raped I. The post tonight. I hope we continue to see growth out of him. I think if he works hard, maybe he could be an AL lite, with a little more vertical.

I would be more comfortable with him being the second big off the bench. His defense this game was good because of the match-up but he really improved on everything else.

Well, they were playing a D-League team so let's not get too excited. But Jeremy has really improved. Maybe locking him up cheap wasn't such a bad idea after all.

He did play well the other night too though. I think he can be good for like 20 min per game one day, and give a good boost off the bench. If he become more, it is just gravy.

Too many d league teams in the nba right now. Makes basketball boring some nights

come on, no need to overreact. He's good due to match ups as a 4th big.

 

[NAOS]

He can develop an unguardable 10 foot shot and provide above average help defense. That's already deserving of 10-15 minutes a game, imo

He was guarding Villenuva (he is not good enough for me to look how to spell his name). Good for Jeremy he is better than a terrible player. He cannot play against everyone but he might be a good option against stretch 4's.

 

[Hartsock]

IF the matchups are right I wouldn't mind seeing him play 15 -20 min

Jeremy is a bad ***. Sign me up for 20 minutes a game next year. He does a lot of things that help the team win.

This becomes true when the Jazz stop losing to 'd-league' teams.

He's the10th-12th man

I do hope he gets a consistent opportunity to play next season. He exciting to watch, tries hard, and has unique skills on both ends of the court. I would rather see what he can become with real minutes rather than have a vet like Marvin Williams play ahead of him.

Jeremy Evans surprised me last night!

 

[Weezur]

He has a sweet shot and touch.

It's about time. His only chance to stick around it to be a 3/stretch 4 and in order to do that he needs a jump shot.

eVans! get him On the floor you dink Tyco!

Evans has very rare athletic ability, and it's nice that he can shoot a bit. If he could learn to dribble and move laterally he could be a impact player. But maybe that's asking a lot. He's more like David Benoit than AK.
