Compared to our other players, Jeffries is probably the best perimeter defender that we have. He is taller than Q and has more experience and understanding of NBA defense than Balkman and he is simply a better defensive player than Lee (other than rebounding). If he could hit an open jumpshot, I would definitely agree with starting him. However, since he seems to be unable to hit those shots, we probably should be starting Lee instead. I think IT is going to give Jeffires a few more games to see if he can gel with the offense before he makes a move. Remember Lee passes up alot of jumpers too because he still does not have full confidence in his jumper (although it is clear that it has improved). I think the overall team defense is better with Jeffries on the floor, but it remains to be seen if the overall team performance on offense and defense is better with him starting.

Lee cant hit an open jumpshot either...so how does him starting change anything??

Lee is better at hitting an open jumpshot than Jeffries has shown, but again, I would like to give Jeffries a few more games to see how he gels with the offense before saying someone else should start. I think he adds alot on the defensive end. The team just needs to learn to run the offense without having that jumpshooter at SF.

The problem with Jeffries is that he is able to guard every position but none of them very well..

Another tweener who doesn't own a position.

I'm beginning to get very leery of guys called "versatile," it's almost a codeword for "doesn't excel at anything."
