F. Utah Jazz. JONAS JEREBKO. A -.

Overall GPA: 3.13 (B)

Besides Mitchell, no other player has outperformed my expectations as much as Jonas Jerebko.

The stretch big man as slowly improved his grade all season long. After struggling to find a foothold in Quin Snyder’s rotation, Jerebko has become a key member of Utah’s small lineup.

His recent success was highlighted Friday night in Boston as he went for 17 points and seven rebounds in just 24 minutes against his former team.

Much like Favors, Jerebko’s numbers seem to be positively related to Utah’s success. In wins, Jerebko is averaging nearly nine points and five rebounds per game. In losses, his production drops to just five points and three boards.

While some of these numbers may be skewed due to garbage time minutes, there is no question as to Jerebko’s effort and ability to stretch the floor.
