Lock up Jeremy Evans right now

Did they learn anything from the Wes Matthews experiment? He would have jumped on a decent contract too, had it been offered..

Um, no. Just saying that I wish they'd held onto Matthews. Too early to tell just how good Evans will be, but I think he's worth extending to find out, so we don't risk losing him in similar fashion.

Did you guys watch the entire? Did you see his RIDICULOUS turnovers at the end?

I love Jeremy Evans but he still has a long way to go before he proves himself worthy of a multimillion dollar contract. He is still the 13th or 14th best player on this team.

Please don't be so ridiculous.

Let me make me this clear. I LOVE JEREMY EVANS. I was at the charity game and was 3 feet away from him. There was a mob of teenagers around him, one yelled out "I love you Jeremy!" and he said right back, "I love you too!" with a huge smile! And it was sincere. He's probably one of the nicest guys in the NBA (David Locke quoted Jerry Sloan on media day saying "He just makes everyone around him want to smile."

I would LOVE for Jeremy Evans to stay with the Jazz. I love that he and Hayward are best buds. I love watching Evans succeed. Last night he took my breath away with how much more confident he is. I think he's realized that he can jump over pretty much anyone in the NBA, and he showed a touch of viciousness. I got real excited when I saw that.

But lets come back down to earth. It was a preseason game. Corbin extended his minutes and he failed down the stretch (which is OK! He can learn from that!) But he is not really for a $10 million contract. The Jazz have to stop paying big money for loyalty!!!

You sound like you almost talked yourself into it.

I guarantee that he will be a good player in this league for a longtime. It's not just his dunks. He does many things well like rebounding, blocking shots, and he has a smooth stroke. His shots will start falling.
It doesn't matter that he is skinny. Being skinny in the NBA is a good thing. He has tremendous tools to pretty damm good. He is a good guy and a hard worker.

But I don't know why I have to explain it. You can see it too, but you want to sound like a professional who is under control and doesn't make rash decisions. Being scared to take risks will only make you average. I guess you just have to have an eye for talent. It's called having foresite and being proactive. And it would be a good basketball decision. I don't wait for some talking head to tell me what I should think. And neither should the Jazz.
 
Ya Wilbon compared him to a young Shawn Kemp

And it starts..

The league is starting to get to know who he is

We should start a Jeremy Evans price ticker
 
Seriously, he's got to just start shooting the ball from like 8 feet out, and he will be infinitely more valuable than he is now. You've got to do more than one thing to keep the opposition off balance. Develop a jump hook, or anything, whatever.

This dude is unreal. Loads of potential. Plays hard. Always contributes. I hate how the Jazz wait until the whole league knows the players value, and then they drive up the price. Can't we offer him something like 4 years, 12 million. Im sure he would jump on it. He will be a bargain for that price down the road.

Also, get him more minutes

Finally somebody realizes it ive been said wat type of player he will be just wait later into the season when he starts shooting the ball. His shot looks way smoother and he has a softer touch.
