    Jared Jeffries was a monster at IU, can't start in the NBA

    Has been nothing but a bit player in NBA. I am so shocked and surprised at this. I expected a great playing career from the guy, he always gets the big contracts, but the production is pathetic.

    intangible player but overpriced. Player has an exceptionally good attitude and that help's other players like Lin. Comes up with some timely plays but not a stats guy. He's grown on me

    So Jeffries had a high ceiling but is actually just another guy with intangibles and a great attitude? Never would have applied those qualities to him.

    I watch the Knicks all the time.....Jeffries is a great team player and does all the little things well.......Every now and then he will show his talents but it's rare.....Overall the type of role player you want on your team to be used as a big man off the bench

    Jeffries, The Custodian, and Scalabrine. Who would have thunk it?

    He was nothing special.

    There are scores of players who were great in college and either fail or become bit players in the NBA. Nothing new or novel about it or special with Jeffries. And it's not like he was a #1 pick. He was an #11.
