Jeremy Evans Contract?

hilltopper06 said:
I have watched the Jazz at every opportunity this season, and Evans is progressing much faster than I expected. A lot of that is the high quality of coaching that he gets from Sloan and the assistants. Evans is a smart guy and he is very coachable, I only expect him to get better. If the coaches can get him over the confidence block he has with shooting in game, then Evans can be an absolute beast*. I think that an offseason of training and a summer league of dominance will go along way to making Evans into a regular rotation player.

*Dependent on him gaining 15lbs of muscle.

No offense, but I think he needs to add at least 30 lbs to be a great NBA player.
 
I have a friend that attended a Jazz practice and he said that Evans was one of the best shooters on the team in practice as he was a dead-eye (in mid/long 2s) with great form and an absurdly high point-of-release.

I still project Evans as a stopper/spot-up shooter as a SF if he wants to maximize what he's been given (or lack thereof in terms of how slight his frame is). He's already past where Brendan Wright was when he was at his best, and I can see him being a rich-man's Ariza (he'll never be a ballhandler, but he's taller, longer, more athletic, and already has the shooting fundamentals that I'm not sure Ariza ever got down, that aspect is just a matter of reps, confidence, and being asked to fill such a role IMO).

I'm pretty sure you can't offer multiple years on a non-guaranteed deal. I'm pretty sure he has a 2-year guaranteed contract for around the rookie minimum.

You can, but I don't think any teams offer them (and if offered, few agents would advise their client to sign such a one-sided deal). Teams can set the percentage of any contract year to be guaranteed at anything between 0% and 100%, but regardless of the annual percentages they set, it would become 100% guaranteed on 10 Jan (or thereabouts) for the rest of the season every year. Normally a contract that is anything but 100% guaranteed for its entire length reduces in percentage in later years, rather than being at 0% for the duration.

Well i think your friend has been paying attention and knows a little bit about basketball more than some of the people on here. But Evans has a very nice stroke just watch him in warmups or when he goes to the line. Thats not a post player shot.

That is a good thing. We need him as a future SF, not PF.
