Definitely interesting. I disagree with the missed blocks part. If he wasn't going for those blocks, then people would complain that he isn't going after them. The guy does need to spend the summer boxing out all night and day.

One problem AJ and other Jazz defenders is that they don't move with the ball, this is why Jefferson is caught as the article points out with 'his back to the basket as the shot goes up', and at other times, 'losing his man'. There are many times when he should take a rebounding position, and he is 'standing there' flat footed watching the shot go up.
It seems so simple, anyone should be able to play defense/box out/rebound. He has 'some of the best' post moves for a big man though.
