The Utah Jazz are recovering about as well as could be expected from the loss of Gordon Hayward. In addition to signing Joe Ingles and adding Thabo Sefolosha, they got another versatile player to bolster the depth chart with Jonas Jerebko.
Though he won’t be expected to start at the 4, Jerebko shot a better percentage on catch-and-shoot threes than either Boris Diaw or Trey Lyles last year, and with Derrick Favors and Diaw still on the roster, Utah is stocked with skilled power forwards who bring a number of assets to the table.
Though he only averaged 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game on 34.6 percent shooting from three-point range last season, this is a quality two-way signing on a very team-friendly contract.
