With a New haircut and a New Season beginning, Jared has been playing the best basketball I've seen him play as a rocket. Even though it's still preseason, I think he can be really serviceable for the upcoming season. Although, I don't want to see him shoot 3s If nothing else than he'll be a nice contract to send in a trade. Hopefully, this is the start of something good. first
Who would win one on one, Jefferies or Cook? I mean they are both all-stars, but its hard to call it one way or another...
Maybe NY will give us their 2015 1st rounder for him. But they'd probably want us to take back Edy Curry. But I've not completely given up on Curry. Contract year! Plus he needs to pay for his entire area code's cable service so he had better get his act together.
He's a defensive specialist and I don't see him do more than that. I'm sure he knows his role and I do like him as a Rocket. When I see him play you can tell he's doing his best for the team.
Correction. He is a defensive specialist who will occasionally score in double figures. Thus, he's a keeper. :grin:
No comparison, really. Cook was worthless, as his playing time with us showed. JJ get real minutes at important junctions of the game. JJ is a very good defender, just a lousy K.
I know he's not our savior or has THE POTENTIAL of JORDAN HILL, but i was just trying to bring to light his improvement...smartasses
I always knew he was primarily a defender, but I didn't realize he was this good until this preseason. He's gonna be a pretty big part of our season, either as a defender or as trade bait. What bugs me about him is that it seems like he either doesn't know his role in the offense or Adelman isn't using him correctly. I realize he's able to hit an occasional jumper here and there, but he should never be parked outside the 3pt line. That's a low percentage shot, no matter how open he is.
Just you just post 'first' on your own OP? lmao. I like Jeffries in the way that I like that even our 3rd string throw-ins have legit uses on the court.
he's a good defensive option to have...unfortuntely getting overpaid did make him look worse than he really is....hes got great height and i think hiw wingspan is 7'1....still hope they can re-sign him as an alternative to chuck at the back up Pf spot. I think he's somewhat of a content free-spirit and therefore doesnt spend enough time working on his game during the summer...hopefully that's changing.
JJ is a great role player, and from what I hear, he is also a great teammate and lockeroom guy. The only problem is that he is overpriced. We can find someone that does what he does for far less. He would be perfect for 3-4 million/yr.
