Because Quin's system is defense first. And he can't guard very many NBA players. He also wants players that spread the floor and Jeremy doesn't provide that either.

I like Jeremy but, watching him defend against even the most mediocre PF's in the league, you can see that it just isn't there. And although he has talent, he is lucky to be in an NBA uniform. He really isn't going to contribute enough to our team or any team for that matter to justify signing him. If he had the handling skills that were good enough to play a SG position than he could find work with another team maybe. Let's quit dreaming of what will be and realize what we have. Not much other than a guy that can jump high.

I think you meant SF not SG. Other than that I pretty much agree with the post.

Jeremy has a guaranteed K for this year and all of the guys with guarantees make the team and the guys in camp with make good contracts good luck to you. The Jazz will buy you a John Stockton TShirt and a bus ticket to Boise to earn chump change.

It's a little early in this team's leadership to make these statements. Since Larry died a lot of the old way of doing things have changed. Some for better and some for worse. I would not put it past this new regime of Snyder and Lindsey to release guys who are under contract if a better player comes around. It's not like his guaranteed contract is very big.
I still like him as a 12-14th instant energy sort of guy, but I can see how he doesn't fit the system.
On the other hand, he hustles when he's out there, he seems like a good locker room sort of guy who knows his role, is a former slam dunk champ which has good PR value, and does the extra sorta PR things that a team needs.
So if he gets cut or not signed next season I get it, but if he sticks around on vet minimum sort of contracts, I won't get the outrage that I'm sure some will display.

Karl Malone really like Jeremy Evans. He jump higher than Karl Malone and he dunk with aggression. He has improved his jumper. There was a time at the beginning of last season that Karl Malone saw him hit like 15 in game jumpers in a row. Karl Malone knows that Jeremy Evans needs to improve his long range shooting, but still, Karl Malone likes him.

I won't be outraged. I don't care enough one way or the other. I basically see him as irrelevant to the success or failure of this team.
