    I think so. He is a better overall player than Hayes.

    One of him or Hayes should be on the floor at all times for interior defense.

    No but he does have skills that can help this team. I knew he was known as a good defender but the guy really competes all over the court.

    dont matter if he start or not. what really matters is how much playing time he should get.

    And i think his playing time should increase substancially

    I say yes just because he's tall and plays D.

    I don't think he should start yet simply because he is completely unfamiliar with the whole system. Give it a week or two and he should definitely be out there at Center.

    BTW, I'm still very interested to see what Hilton Armstrong can bring to the table. Jeffries was good tonight, but I think Armstrong can be good for us as well.

    he looked better and efficient unfamiliar with our system(albeit one game) than most of our bigs who are familiar with our system

    Knee-jerk thread.

    However,

    I was impressed with Jeffries tonight.

    Ariza/Battier

    Jeffries/Hayes

    too many defensive specialists with limited offensive skills

    btw Hayes is only 6'6, what's Jeffries excuse for not dunking

    Jeffries playing above his head. Normally, he is a 5 pts and 5 rebs guy.

    I think that had more to do with poor defense by the Hornets than it did Jeffries' ability.

    Waiting a week or two if present trends
    continue we could seriously not even be contending for the eight seed how long are all you guys going to be satisfied with us only getting 6 to 8 points max from the center position

    Could be interesting, but Armstrong's completely disinterested facial expression on the bench is not very promising.

    he had a disinterested look at the press conference introduction

    it's like someone told him when he got traded "the only thing changing is your uniform"
