good read on Jeff:

here is an excerpt:
Fast forward three months, and now when Drew looks down his bench he sees Adrien sporting a Bucks uniform. Drew, who says playing with physicality has been part of his everyday speech, is overjoyed to have Adrien.
"As a coach, when I go back the next day and I'm watching film and I'm seeing what he's doing as far as how hard he's competing and the physical toughness and the physical presence that he brings, I want those kind of guys on my team all day long," Drew said.
"I think every guy on our team would admit we haven't had a pit bull on this team. Now we've got one. And that's a good feeling."
As an undersized forward, Adrien has learned to outmaneuver bigger opponents. He recognizes that battling got him into the NBA and is what he needs to do to stay there.
"That's what I have to do," Adrien said. "I have to do the dirty work, I've got to bring the energy, I have to help my teammates on and off the court, I've got to be a vocal leader. That's who I am. That's my job."
When Adrien was traded to Milwaukee, some people saw him and Ramon Sessions only as expiring contracts to dump at season's end. Now Adrien is making a case to stay and be part of the rebuild.
And unlike some other potential free agents, he says he wants to stay.
