Jerrelle Benimon

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Jerrelle Benimon: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Turnarounds were his specialty. After two quiet seasons at Georgetown, Benimon transferred to Towson and powered the greatest single-season reversal in Division I history — 1–31 to 18–13 — winning back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year awards and twice finishing second in the nation in rebounding at 11.2 per game. In high school he once posted a quadruple-double.

The pro game gave him ten days. Undrafted in 2014, he was called up from the Idaho Stampede in March 2015 and played two games for the Jazz, then earned All-D-League first team honors as a rookie. The later road ran through China with Foshan and Qingdao, Germany's ratiopharm Ulm, and Bnei Herzliya in Israel.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed a 10-day contract on March 6, 2015, taking the roster spot Jack Cooley had just vacated.
