I know it is only one game, but for the first time this season, Jeffries looked like him might actually be worth his salary. He was making jumpshots, playing solid defense, and getting rebounds. He still has terrible hands and I think Balkman will be a far better SF in two more years, but I was happy to see him actually have a good game. Hopefully, he can start to play at or near that level every game.

As you said, it's only one game. We can hope that we'll see more of the same. The Wizards did want him back at pretty much the same thing we were willing to pay, so you'd think he had more game than what we've been seeing until now.

it's ridiculous to expect Jefferies to play at that level every game, at least offensively - that would be completely out of whack with his career. it'd be nice to see him bring that energy level every game.

he's a 6 & 5 career player... he's going to have games where he puts up decent stats, but for the most part he's a bit role player off the bench... i really don't expect him to put up any offensive #'s... i just want to see him play some lockdown defense, because that's why he was brought here to begin with... he played better defensively last night, but so far i haven't seen the defensive presence he was being billed as being this season.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Jeffries and Malik Rose are like the same player just at different positions and ages. Both play DECENT defense.. Both have no offensive game. You can play one of them once in a while but long stretches is asking for trouble. Playing them both at the same time = you will never win
