I haven't seen him play but I've heard good things about him. He was said to maybe be a late 1st last year but signed overseas, so no one drafted him. He is better on defense than offense (don't think he has much of an outside shot), but he is probably more athletic than J. Jordon. Clearly he is worth a look. I mean we should have 2 or 3 centers on the roster and we have ZERO. I think he would be a great shot and would be like having a late first or early second rounder handed to us.

He is the type of guy you would want to sign up for your DL team- a bit smart kid with a few skills- I thought we might pick him up as one our 2s before he signed overseas. Taller players sometimes take a longer time to develop. Things did not seem to work out for in Israel, though: NOVEMBER 17, 2010 Worth a look, IMO, though, and I think he indicated he wanted to play with the Knicks prior to last year's draft.

We could concieveably, remedy several problems by grabbing a few of these veterans as role players on next year's team. Jeff Foote gives the same defensive itensity that Jeffries does. And from the looks of it, will dunk the ball when given the opportunity.

When this thread started some where cracking jokes about this process, but it's really a good move. This franchise hasn't taken advantage of the D League as a resource and this process might just net some results. Every year there's a success story for some player that fell thru the cracks, so who knows what might come of this.

I know he talked negatively about the d-l, was supposed to play in China and then came back to d-l. He doesn't appear to be worth the trouble at this point.
