It isn't great but there was a lot of talent in the West this year and West is a 19/9 guy who's shooting 48% from the floor and has a lot more range than Jefferson, so from a coach's standpoint, if you're looking at a guy who posts comparable numbers (obviously, Al is the superior rebounder) but whose style makes him a more valuable player, you go with that guy and that's West.
Al will get his in time.
West's jump-shooting style makes him a more valuable player?
I don't ever remember thinking about KG "sweet, I'm so glad he's showing off his range and taking these fadeaway baseline jumpers instead of working in the paint. "
