Why Isn't Jerebko Playing?

Jerebko was one of my favorites when he played for Detroit. Super gritty. I wonder how much better he'd be if it weren't for him blowing his Achilles.
 
He's simply not that good and the bench is deep would be my guess. JJ should never play back-to-backs, so it would be good to see what Jerebko has to offer in those games (then again, Joe is critical to providing an offensive hub/calming presence/reliable offensive option since the offense is pretty rickety).
 
I would like to see the Jazz take 5 min or so away from JJ and let Jerebko run amok on the court. JJ should be around 15 min unless he is hot and Jerebko should get a chance to bother and frustrate other bigs. Same thing with Jerebko give him more minutes if he is hot.

My guess is that with Hood not really playing much the first 3 games Snyder needs more offense and JJ is getting more playing time because of that.

Lol, i think it was after the Adams technical and Ingles was having some kind words with him, but anybody else notice Jerebko jump off the bench looking like he was ready to go to bat for his teammate? Just a really small gesture but I thought to myself, "I like this dude!".

He has a feisty attitude (think Game 4 of the Celts/Cavs series last year) and doesn't seem to be upset about riding the bench. He's hard not to like.
 
Over the course of the season he should find time, especially because the spacing at times is really clunky right now. As soon as Rubio gives the ball away, the lanes are super crowded, sometimes even before that. Jerebko could help in this regard. Most likely scenario IMO is that over the course of the winter, there will be a 2 for 1, or 3 for 1 trade, where we acquire an unhappy high salary player and give 2-3 quality rotation players away together with picks.

You have any ideas who that could be? Sounds like he'd have to be an All-Star to give up that much.
