David Locke Notable quotes about Al Jefferson

Based off the 200 post plays he watched on Synergy

"In over 200 post plays on Minnesota never once did he get a pick to free him, only once was he moving when he caught the ball. He just gets the ball in the left block sets himself and makes a move and converts it 48% of the time. If you consider how many times he's fouled it's about a point a possession"

"Jefferson plays the pick and roll part differently then Boozer he rolls instead of pops. He's Unstoppable going to the rim."

" Since January 4th he hasn't missed a shot when he rolls to the rim he either gets gets fouled, converts or has a few turnovers as a result of bad passes or just mistakes"

" He has a better straight up Jumpshot off a pick and roll then I anticipated. "

"On the over 200 post plays I watched only 7 times did he catch and shoot right off a pass, think about how many times Boozer and Millsap have just caught the ball and quickly put it up off good passing"

That sounds nothing like Karl Malone in your sig. Was it a press release or live?

He got it from here. I think it was from an interview with Malone:

FWIW, the real quote was ""I don't think Deron has anything against any previous teammates, but he's going to love Al."

It's not really a quote if you change the words.

-Al Jefferson is an unbelievable addition to the Jazz and one of the best moves of the summer. Minnesota rarely ever ran plays for AJ, so he's going to love the cross-screens, down-screens, and picks in Utah. AJ is a true low-post center and scorer, and Coach Sloan is going to love him to death. "I don't think Deron has anything against Boozer, but he's going to love Al." (OK fine, that was me editorializing. What Karl actually said was "any previous teammates" rather than "Boozer.")

Just saying, whoever did that shouldnt' use quotes and 'editorialize' at the same time.
