I remember reading something about how Lucas was obsessed with his stats. Hed mentally keep track of how many rebounds he got in a game, then hed go argue with the statistitian if their numbers didnt match up.

One thing I saw jefferson lacking was rebounding and blocked shots especially. Maybe in time, he can be well rounded. Then again, I see Jefferson being a Zach Randolph without the baggage maybe mixed with Jermaine O'Neal and Randolph is weak in those other areas like Jefferson is. Randolph isn't a top rebounder even though he rebounds like 7 per game. Hes not a top blocker and I see Jefferson going in the Zach Randolph direction in terms of play. Jefferson is a very efficient rebounder especially on the offensive glass. His problem is position and strength. Thats what is going keep him from being a 10 reb per night guy unless he changes. Far as blocking shots, He'll be averaging around 1-2 blocks a game. I can see Jefferson becoming like Zach randolph as far as being a finese ball player but you lost me when you stated Randolph isn't a top notch rebounder. Randolph average around 20 pts 10 rebs for the past two seasons and is known to be a automatic double-double guy every night. If he puts anything near Randolph's stats then I'll be happy. I'm just happy he doesn't become a stat happy player like Randolph who cries when he doesn't get his 20 pts every game and blames the team for not giving him the shots. |

Reminds me of Adrian Dantley running by the scorer's table asking how many points he had. This was when the game was in play. |

But to call someone a baby shaq would mean that his game is a replica of Shaqs, and in my opinion, there games arent even close. One relies on size and strength, one relies on a nice scoring touch around the basket. You get the idea that I meant though right? Jefferson is a very efficient rebounder especially on the offensive glass. His problem is position and strength. Thats what is going keep him from being a 10 reb per night guy unless he changes. Far as blocking shots, He'll be averaging around 1-2 blocks a game.

I'm just happy he doesn't become a stat happy player like Randolph who cries when he doesn't get his 20 pts every game and blames the team for not giving him the shots. I agree that Jefferson hasn't reached his potential in strength and positioning. When I mentioned Randolphs rebounding, I meant not a rebounder like those of Big Ben or KG but 7-8 rpg is 5 away from 12-13rpg. Wasn't Zach a 19 and 8 player? Oh and if Al Jefferson becomes that, that would be real nice. Even 16 and 7 is real good for him. And also the fact that he wouldn't be a big pouter like Randolph would be a good thing. Randolph is cancerous. Even though the blazers are rebuilding, similar guys that they just had in terms of attitude will return to that team. |
