Reminds me of when Eli Manning was awkwardly posing for pictures on draft night with a Chargers uniform.
JJeff is a !st rounder!!!!!
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
He's a little short but he's pretty big and strong and has a good wingspan. He plays bigger than his height.
I think the added space he will play in will help him a ton. He won’t be the primary scout. He won’t have guards constantly swiping at his dribble. He will be a mismatch for a lot of lighter wings that will have to guard him.
He also had really good range and shot most of his 3s from well behind the arc.
Learning behind a 31-year old vet (32 in the fall) like Randle is a pretty decent spot for JJeff.
Their game is quite similar, although Randle was more bouncy at 23 than Jefferson has shown

Typos in thread titles preserved in amber are one of my favorite things about this place.
It's interesting that a team that has over $60M invested in forwards (with only 1 other player in double figure millions) picked him. I'm assuming they'll start Porter at the 4 and Randle at the 3 with JJeff primarily taking Randle's spot with the second team, but who knows. Hopefully, he can learn to improve his 3P shot from Randle as Randle wasn't anywhere near the shooter he is today while in college.
I will say the Nets have a nice young core of players. I could see them as a playoff team in the next couple years.
I’m not so sure about that. None of their first rounders last year really flashed and they just traded Claxton. Porter had a good year, but that was primarily because he was the only scorer on the team.
I actually think, outside of New Orleans, Milwaukee and maybe the Kings; they probably have the least hope of any NBA franchise
