As you know Jeffries was suppose to be the glue that kept this team together last year acccording to Isiah. lol However this guy played like cheap paste. I think Isiah might try to start him to prove that he was right about getting Jeffries last year.

Do you think that Jeffries might start at sf?

Yes. Because I think Isiah has a hard time accepting his mistakes and he'll try to force it to work.

If that happens he'll push either Quentin or Jamal to the bench. Really, its not fair to ask Q to guard SGs.

i thought Q was an SG, and isn't he lighter this year?

I think he's going to start jeffries in preseason, however, it will eventually play out that Q will start.
Let's go Knicks. That's amare

No. As far as covering his mistakes, he traded Frye. I think Q starts at either 2 or 3. The other starter is either Crawford or Balkman.

IT has his extension so I think he is going to be more inclined to start the 5 players he thinks give him the best chance to win for the most part. I mean guys like Nichols and Chandler probably won't get much burn initially, but I think if Balkman and/or Q clearly outbeat Jeffries, Jeffries will be coming off the bench. At least, let's hope so.

You know that Crawford is our starting SG and Q is our starting SF right?

q is not a 2. he can't guard many 2s. he is a three.

Q has always been a 2. In LA he played the 2 next to Maggette and in Pho JJ played the 3. All Q did in Pho was spot up for 3's. He played very little SF there

Yeah I remember th Suns that Year. Joe Johnson breaks his face on the rim in game two of the Dallas series and has to sit out for a couple of weeks. Q Rich is moved for the three to the two with Jimmy Jackson in the SL and is moved up from 5th option offensively to 4th. He goes on to have a:
4-10 12pts 5reb 2Ast game
5-10 13pts 7reb 1Ast game
3-11 7pts 5reb 3Ast game
4-13 11pts 13reb 3Ast game
3-9 7pts 3reb 1Ast game
7-13 18pts 2reb 1Ast game

Totally spitting the bit at the two guard in the absence of Joe Johnson when the suns need him the most. God, I don't see what people see in Q that they want him to start at 2 guard so bad.

Yes, Jeffries will start, which is very unfortunate.

Jeffries starting is not such a bad thing when one considers the need for his defense at the three spot.

As much as I love Renaldo, having another veteran presence at the skill forward position isn't such a bad idea. Somebody has to check Paul Pierce.

Besides. based on reports, Quentin has plenty of weight to lose before he's back to his Phoenix Suns playing physique.

I hereby proclaim that with the addition of ZR, Jeffries is hereby prohibited from shooting.

Howeva, if Wilson Chandler or Nichols devlop ahead of schedule... all bets are off.

the depth chart at skill forward last season:

injured Jeffries, bad back Richardson, rookie Balkman

the depth chart at skill forward THIS season:

a hopefully healthier Jeffries, a year experienced Balkman, the sweet shooting Nichols, the versatile baby Chandler and quite possibly Quentin Richardson in a cameo role

isn't competition for minutes a good thing?

Best five start

Can we get something straight, Jared Jefferies sucks, he sucks on offense, because he has terrible hands, doesn't know how to shoot, he was actually learning how to shoot with the knicks coaching staff this season after 6 years in the nba. He has no hops, can't jump or convert around the rim, has a terrible left hand.

He is an awful defender he played 2 good defensive games all season one agains josh smith the other again chris bosh. He can't get stops, and got beat all night long. If Isiah starts him he should be ****ing fired.

Balkman rebounds, defends, blks shots, gets more steals can push the ball up the floor and is one of the better finishers in the nba, changes the pace of the game, this drove me crazy last year that isiah was literally losing games because he was too proud to admit he is actually a terrible gm who makes moves that kill roster spots and don't produce wins. Like starting jerome james, starting channing frye.

If Jefferies is starting how does that help in any aspect of the game, especially at the 3, he is only modestly effective at the 4......

Ty Lue fouls iverson every single play and holds him to 30 he gets a big deal and is noted as a defender.....

Jefferies holds lebron to 28 a night and gets a big contract? Lets get a clue this year isiah.....

If Jeffries doesn't shoot, other teams can double on Curry or Zack with no penalty.

Look at him. He doesn't have the quickness or ball handling of a 2. He is a short SF.
