Isn't that because he mainly plays in games that we have already won?
What is the worst call you made concerning the Utah Jazz?

He is not an excellent rebounder. Have you been watching the games where he's been getting playing time recently?
I agree it's nice to have guys that can do different things on the roster. I don't deny that he has a role on this team, but most of it is predicated on matchups like Cy said. And most of the time, the proper matchups won't end up with him averaging 15 minutes per game. He could play 15 or 20 minutes one game, and then get a string of DNPs, but he'll never average 15 per unless he improves considerably.

You are falling pray to dumbass thinking. There isn't any empirical evidence that Evans is a good shooter and he doesn't even have much confidence in his own shot.
I hesitate to call him a good shooter doe when teams are giving him considerable space at the elbow or free throw line (while facing an already anemic offense) and he's not pulling the trigger. This is what has been happening when he's been playing recently.
Evans averaging a whopping 13.5 rebounds per 48 minutes, which is pretty meh for a player who only plays spot minutes. Excellent rebounder.
And the fact that he doesn't really want to shoot it when he is open.
At best he is OK when left wide open.

This year I have not seen Jeremy evans play in a game that was not a blowout. I have not watched a lot of games though. I like evans. But I think if he could be used, quin would be using him. Quin uses everyone who try's hard, he just must not see much in Jeremy.
He's been playing in recent games while the Jazz have been winning. That will help Hack's stat. I wouldn't say Evans has been very instrumental in these victories. He did have a great game against Memphis tho imo.
He has come in a couple of games and provided a nice spark. Really, once you put him in, if he hasn't made a spectacular crowd excitement play within 3 minutes, you might as well pull him because he just doesn't add much besides that.
Yeah, that was the game he got a lot of rebounds. After that game Hack declared him an excellent rebounder.

Did you not notice the log jam of bigs this year, and guys who command playing time. He's playing now because Kanter is gone. You know, that big strong guy who can rebound and shoot, and can't be bullied around? But wait, we are actually better, no way? I thought we needed all that muscle to help us win games. I thought playing Jeremy would make us suck.
Seriously. Pay attention
Last year Evans averaged 12.3 rebounds per 48 minutes. This was when he averaged 18 mpg. Not great per48 numbers for a guy who is suppose to be an excellent rebounder getting limited minutes.
Also, I like Evans. I really don't care if he plays or not, because it really has no affect on anything at all. He won't be getting minutes next year.
