Weighty issue
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan came away convinced of one thing after watching an
overmatched Eric Maynor attempt to slow fellow rookie guard Tyreke Evans in
Friday's game against Sacramento.
“He's got to get stronger,” Sloan said. “Teams will go right at him right
at him every time down the floor if you're not careful. That's where he's
got to continue to work, to get in better condition and more strength,
because this is a tough business.”
At 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, Evans was a handful even for Deron Williams. He
struggled with his jumper in going 6-for-13 and 0-for-2 from three-point
range, but had little trouble getting to the basket against the slight Maynor.
It has been striking this preseason to see just how small Maynor is compared
with some of his counterparts around the league. He's officially 6-foot-3,
175 pounds, but Maynor called himself 170 and said he played at 165 all four
years at Virigina Commonwealth.
“My whole life, I ain't been able to put on weight,” Maynor said. “But
you know what?
I'm going to do whatever they insist on me doing to gain that
weight and if I can put on some pounds during the season, that'd be a plus.
It wouldn't never be a bad thing.”
Maynor went on to joke: “I always say I'm trying to get to 185.” After they
drafted him in June, the Jazz noted that Maynor did not have the benefit of a
full-scale strength and conditioning program at VCU, which does not have a
Division I football team.
“It was just stuff we had to do,” Maynor said of weight training in college.
He finished the preseason on a positive note, with 13 points and two assists
against the Kings. That included a pair of three-pointers, leaving Maynor
6-for-12 from long range, even as he went 21-for-58 (36.2 percent) overall.
“
I feel comfortable and I'm glad coach put me out there, just to get a taste
of how everything goes,” said Maynor, who has been working with part-time
assistant coach
Jeff Hornacek on his shooting. “Now I'm ready for the regular
season.”
