Jeremy Evans

The only reason the Jazz drafted this guy is because (to the great disappointed of the Jazz FO) Luke Harangody was drafted 3 spots earlier in the 2nd round. Otherwise, this "could" have been one the greatest drafts in Jazz history. :confused:

Did the Jazz raid the train on it's way to Auschwitz?

Nope, that doesn't work. Maybe if the train was going from the Warsaw Ghettos to Auschwitz? Or maybe the train was transporting people out of the camp? I would think most of the weight loss would occurred after the arrival at Auschwitz.
 
Greg Miller was asked what we needed most in the draft. He said it was to get tougher.
I think we can all sleep tonight knowing Greg Miller is full of...

Jazz Fans,

I host an ESPN Radio Show in Bowling Green, KY and have watched Jeremy Evans the last 4 years. For starters should he make the squad you are getting an unreal kid in terms of character. Extremely humble, polite, and hard worker! I really can't say enough good things about Jeremy. On the court his biggest down side is his size. He was never really able to put weight on during his time at WKU. He is a tremendous athlete not only on the court but won the Sun Belt title in the high jump. His is long and can leap!! He has incredible timing, and will block shots out of no where! If he get's anywhere near the goal he will throw it down and throw it down hard. WKU played Miss St. this year and he more than held his own vs Jarvis Varnado. In fact several draft stories where done that Evans may have more upside. He was the Sun Belt Tourney MVP his Sophomore year, which was the Sweet 16 team with NBA 1st Rounder Courtney Lee (Magic/Nets). He had some back injuries this season, and had some foul trouble throughout the season, largely because of his light frame. I'm sure some of you, understandably, are wondering who is this guy, but he has tremendous upside, and the Hilltoppers are very excited and should he make the team will be some of the biggest Jazz fans in the country!

Hey PSTradio, thanks for the thoughtful commentary. I hope that you are right on the dude's upside.

If the Jazz weren't able to land a lottery-worthy Kentucky University player, then maybe a graduating Hilltopper tops the next best thing :).

Appreciate the post... and I mean no offense, but the Jazz are in need of SIZE. That business about size not mattering... a big old lie!
 
I found this on his stats from last year, but ya, it's time to start the Fire KOC and the rest of the Front Office thread!
He didn't play as well this year due to back injuries. Sounds like we might have gotten an athletic small Borchard#2. Instead of foot injuries, back???
