Jeremy Evans Appreciation thread...

Who has hated on Evans?

I did, and I am not entirely convinced. I never said he couldn't shoot, in fact I remember him hitting a few mid range shots last year. I admit, I listened to the game against the 'cats' on the radio, so I couldn't watch him on the court. Does he move now? Can he dribble more than one or two times without losing the ball? He blocked some shots, made some shots, and I'm glad, I like the guy. I need to watch him now that he's got some more practice time and see if he can move within the offence enough to get time, because he's one of the very few players who actually have a contract with the team over the next two years.
 
Evans is underrated he is an unique help defender, his hang time is great. At one position he blocked Sessions twice in the air with his left and then right hand. I'm not sure if he did it on purpose but it was awesome. And i didn't know that he was that good at mid-range jumpers.
 
Evans looked good and needs more time on the floor. Damn wet bandit takin up minutes from guys who deserve them way more.
 
Another quality game for Jeremy. He's earning his contract now and is valuable as more than just Gordon's friend. Still don't think he starts because of his wierd non standard size, but being the fourth big wouldn't be bad.

Al and Paul can both go now.

(edit: third big would be Marvin, he doesn't mind coming off the bench and I think he may be a better 4 than a 3)

If you can match him up against stretch 4s who won't punish him off the dribble or with their backs to the basket, he contributes. Very active and alert. Looked like a poor man's AK47 tonight.

Evans balled out tonight?

Yup.
And I'm not surprised in the least.
Every time he has played in the past seasons he has produced.... he has a bad rep by lots of people but he is actually pretty consistent.

And he didn't just develop a jump shot, I have seen him hitting jumpers in past seasons.... he just didn't get many opportunities to attempt them
Last year if evans took a jumper and missed, then he woild be yanked so he tried not to shoot em much but when he did take them he seemed to make a good percentage
