Jared Jeffries: Drawing Interest from Several Teams
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com
Saturday, July 1, 2006
Update: Several teams are reportedly interested in Jeffries, including the Bulls, Rockets, 76ers, Spurs and Knicks, the Washington Post reports.
Recommendation: If Jeffries, who has averaged 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 256 career games, signs an offer sheet, the Wizards would have seven days to match. Jeffries earned just under $2.8 million last season and while he isn't likely to break the bank, there may be a team out there willing to pay top dollar for a player of his defensive ability.

If we offer-sheet him, we may lose out on Przybilla and Claxton types during the week wait. At least it's not the 14 days anymore.
that is why you sign and trade
williams + scola for him in aug
haywood is not getting along with his coach either
spurs might talk nazr into going there
I wonder if wiz would match a front loaded mle deal?
You can't front load an MLE deal.
No thanks. The dude can't make a shot other then a layup. He's not a threat from 3P land nor does he have a jumper.
The one thing he has is length and that's it. And yes, he's overrated on D. Let's focus on a big man, for example Scola, Javtokas, or Przybilla.
I'd rather have Claxton.
If not him, then Jeffries.
There are two ways the Spurs land Jeffries. The first is to throw a max MLE deal at Jeffries and hope that the Wizards balk at the price. Of course, that means the Spurs end up with a less than desirable contract. The second option is far more likely and that is a sign and trade. That way the Spurs can get Jeffries at a price that makes sense.
Can't argue with that. Dude does have trouble scoring, which is weird for a guy that is 6-10.
I'd also much rather see the Spurs shore up the 5 spot first.
Jeffries = dirk stopper (can influence dirk like bruce) and someone who can rebound
omfg GET HIM
since its looking like we get javtokas instead of pryz we now have the cash!
That's laughable. Jeffries might be among the best available options for a long wing, but that doesn't really say much.
ESPN Insider analysis of Jared Jeffries going into the 2005-6 season:
__________________________________________________ _____
Jeffries discovered a role in his third NBA season, taking over as the Wizards' perimeter defensive stopper. Because he's 6-11 and has decent quickness, Jeffries proved a real headache for high-scoring small forwards. He also was among the Wizards' best help defenders, which is important on a team whose guards gamble so much.
The downside is that he's still a huge stretch as a starter because he's so ineffective on offense. Jeffries averaged only 10 points per 40 minutes and couldn't take advantage of all the easy opportunities that Hughes and Arenas gave him because he is such a terrible finisher. The Wizards can live with him scoring infrequently, but they need him to convert a higher percentage of his shots to justify his presence in the lineup. With the arrival of Butler and Daniels, Jeffries is likely to be pushed into a reserve role this year, and that usage is more consistent with his talents.
What's the downside to this guy if he were in a spurs system??
Very poor offensive player.

Y'know, I keep hearing this, as if enough people say it, it becomes true. His last two years, he's shot 47% and 45% from the field, and 31% and 32% from downtown. He wasn't one of their main options, but this shows that even with limited minutes and touches, he can get his shot up and in effectively.
10 points per 40 minutes sucks big time read the ESPN insider analysis above you^^. That's what offense is about scoring points 10 per 40 in a run n' gun system really sucks. Read Report^^^.
He plays with Gilbert Arenas and Antwan Jamison.10 points per 40 minutes
You tell me how you can get more than 5 shots a game after those two are done jackin up shots....
10 per 40 as Washington's 6th option sucks? That's what he was. He's not ing LeBron, nor do we need him to be. We've got the bulk scoring covered with Tim, Tony, and Manu. He just needs to keep the defense honest, and I'd say 45-47 FG% will do that. The Spurs need a guy who can defend, and score effectively in limited touches.
Oh, and ESPN knows as much about bball as they do abour quantum physics: nothing. ESPN is quite possibly the worst bbal reference on the net.
Very poor is probably a poor choice of words.
His offense is limited, much like a Bowen...he's a little more skilled than a Bowen though and can dunk around the rim obviously...dudes 6'11.
I'm not going to argue with you guys read the report and look at his pitiful stats http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/player...s?statsId=3609 quit making excuses for the guy.
I'd say he's a LOT more skilled than Bowen, offensively. His long ball isn't there yet, but then again, we have one of the premier shooting coaches in the game on our bench.
I don't need to make excuses for a talented, coachable player. Thanks for bowing out.
Spot on.we have one of the premier shooting coaches in the game on our bench.
Thats the reaction I always have when people say about a guy "Hes a poor shooter"
This guy can fix a player's shot enought o where its decent to good.
I mean, look at Tony Parker's mid range jumper now.
MILES ahead of where it used to be.
