Utah Jazz report card: Player grades at quarter-season
By Tyler Thorpe
Overall GPA: 2.85 (B-)
Jonas Jerebko was another player that has greatly benefited by the extra minutes due to injury.
Up until a strong performance against Minnesota where he scored 13 points on 3-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc, Jerebko had a very minor role in Utah’s rotation.
Jerebko has since logged at least 14 minutes in each of Utah’s last eight games.
Along with the increase in minutes, Jerebko has also proven to be a reliable stretch big off the Jazz bench. Jerebko has shot 50 percent from the field and 50 percent from three in November.
Jerebko’s future in the rotation may be shakier upon Gobert’s return, however, his recent play will make it hard for the Jazz to simply stash him back on the end of their bench.
