Jeremy Evans breaks his record at P3 reaching 12'9" with a 45 " standing vertical leap

I like Jeremy but he is what he is. He provides energy, efficient scoring and weakside shot-blocking. He also provides minimal rebounding and poor defense overall. The problem is he is a 5th big--slot usually used for developing guys.

I seen Dwight Howard elbows him in chest. Enes goes crying to ref then asks coach for bench time. You seen video with John Lucas throwing butter like girls fighting? Enes Kanter is only player of Jazz who does not help. Many more examples.

Being used to fighting psychology and being able to fight are two different things.

Some guys with similar rebound rates as Jeremy last season: Paul Millsap, Blake Griffin, Serge Ibaka, David Lee

I agree Evans is underrated but I didn't think he was underrated by Jazz fans.

I like Evans. He's improved. If he can get better each and every year it will be fun to see what else he can do. Nobody expects the guy to be an all-star - he's a pogo-stick who is improving his shot.

I <3 Evans as a rotation player and a person.

The end.

Pretty sure we have all seen Evans jump high as **** and put it to pretty good in game use.

none of his dunks are remotely close to 45 inch. i mean not even close. so if he can really jump that high, then maybe he should do it in games. and maybe just maybe that he should practice something more substantial - like a jumpshot or simple post moves.

Nope, like I said, rebound rate.

More importantly, comparing the rebound rate against bench/third-string (Evans) with those who compete against starters.

Does performance against starters matter since we are all in agreement he is not a starter?

I was responding to a comment that Evans provides "minimal rebounding" and compared his rebound rate to those players. If his rebounding is minimal against the bench players than that must mean those players rebound rates are minimal against starters.

It would be the second-highest in the history of the NBA Draft Combine -- Kenny Gregory jumped 45.5 inches in 2001

Kind of takes some of the air out of this puff piece.
