like and respect is an understatement. from what i've heard hes one of the best locker room guys in the league. and please dont leave out his never ending hustle.- he's cheap (veteran minimum),
- he's a good defender,
- he creates a little more depth,
- seems his teammates like and respect him,
- he wants to be a Knick.
Nothing against him, I remember when during the media day he answered a couple of questions on a chat and seemed very motivated to prove the fans wrong and become a valuable piece off the bench.
and he guarded everyone last night....he was on milsap, jefferson, harris, hayward....everyone!! I dont understand you fans at times....the knicks were an offensive powerhouse last year....we said we needed defence, we brought in tyson, brought jeff back in at the vets min....we need jeff and his defense....i was the first and only one to comment on his effectiveness in the game thread.
13 pts 8 rebs 2 steals 1 block.....cant hate on that at all
We don't need players that can only play defense or only play offense. We need well rounded players that can do both.
Missed layups in the NBA is a big no-no.
i agree one thing you will never see from jeffries is a lack of effort
I'll admit that he has a talent for drawing charges, but as an NBA player...he still has a lot to prove,imo. I'm still not impress with this guy until he is able to do these sought of things on a consistant bases. Dennis Rodman was no scorer either but he did his job as a rebounder while making the opposition uncomfortable with his wierd antics like feeling on players legs and asses. I can only imagine some of the insane crap that came out of his mouth during the games.
Maybe we should get Jefferies to color his hair pink, or maybe blue and orange with a few piercings.
Real Talk....Jefferies has been our young-players & Tyson Chandler's
best "Veteran-Leader" on this Knicks team this season.
Jefferies has been doing his best to co-exist & compliment all his Knicks
teammates performances....Tyson Chandler co-exist with Jefferies in the
frontcourt on both ends of the court....to bad both players are not scorers
because all their teammates (except Melo/Stat) has been quick to pass them
the ball with no problem.....Tyson & Jeff havnt seen that kind of Luv in their
career in the NBA ha ha ha.....Real Talk.
Amazing!!!
:teeth:
He's cheap though? I thought he was still on that contract Thomas gave him?
He resigned for vet's minimum
Yeah. He has quick hands and causes TOs for opposing teams. Pretty good for a minimum wage.Jeffries is a bench player that brings intangibles. Nothing more.
