I hope you're right. More times than not, these marginal players are brought in as extra bodies and the odds are against them to make the team. Similar to what they do in the NFL. With that said, I hope he turns heads and beats out enough players to make the team. He's not your typical 4-man, but plays bigger than his height. He makes up for his lack of prototypical height with his long arms, but then some of that is negated with his lack of hops. Unless he's improved in that area (he could barely get off the ground at UConn) or is able to make up for that with his length, moter, and stength, I don't know if he's going to make the cut. There are always some of under-sized players that carve themselves an NBA career, and I hope he'll be one of them.
Care to elaborate? I always saw Jeff as a blue collar, lunchpail type player. I never really got the arrogant/cocky vibe from him.
you gotta love the "get that outta here" that would always come through the rim mic.
