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

[seaborneq]

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.

atleast hes solid on D

Really? How many all nba defensive first, second, or third teams has he made?

[will2survive]

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

[MoneyLineDawg]

Decent role player.....overpaid, whatever

overpriced? he makes a mill

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.

[MoneyLineDawg]

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

[seaborneq]

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

my bad but everything else is still true

How was he a monster in college?

He was nothing special.

[seaborneq]

5 points per game career average. Wow.

[jjgold]

He was average in college

[seaborneq]

Go check to see how far in the NCAA tourney have the Hoosiers gotten since he left the building?

[rm18]

He is an elite ball handler, passer and defender for his position but cannot shoot or score, also is old started many games for the Wizards

[d2bets]

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.

Lots of hype and left early if I remember correctly.

like I said, he's an intangibles player. You can't see that on the stat sheet

[Chi_archie]

he has room to grow
