What should Jazz fans know about Jonas Jerebko?
Jerebko is the kind of player who can do a little bit of everything for your team. If you look at Jerebko’s time in Boston, the numbers may not jump off the page but this was largely due to minor injuries and a crowded roster.
When Jerebko was given the time in Boston, he made the most of it — especially in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Jerebko’s defense in that game was a large part of how the Celtics pulled off their only win of the Conference Finals. In just 13 minutes, he also tallied 10 points, five rebounds, a block, and a steal.
