What to do with Soft rotation?

[rocketsballin]

In NY Coach Dan Tony use Jeffries to defend Point Guards. And Jeffries was the designated Lebron James Stopper when he was a Washington Wizard. Jeffries is arguably the league's most versatile perimeter defender. But he allegedly has difficulty making a layup.(if you believe Ny fans)

No, you're about right (about Jeffries offense...basically the can't hit the side of the barn type). But that's not what Jeffries is out on the floor to do. He's there cause you want someone that is defensively strong and versatile that knows his role and who will go out and play extremely hard at it.

As much fun has been made of the Knicks defense, early this season when the Knicks were consistently holding teams in the high 80's Jeffries was widely considered to be the biggest reason. D'Antoni himself said that the defensive game plan at the time was to funnel everything towards Jeffries defensively where his height, length and aggressiveness can bother anyone from the ball handler, to jump shooters up to the opposing teams post guys (he's skinny but not weak by any means).

I think O-face will fit in well in Houston.

that's refreshing to know ,which is why he better be in the rotation for the sake of the playoffs

yeah, andersen made me cringe on a handful of plays. but are jeffries and armstrong any better? never seen em play. or are u just going under the pretense that anyones better than andersen?

Dont know about Armstrong but Jeffries is widely considered one of the best defender in the league. The guy can guard anyone from Chris Paul to Lebron James.

He's a 6'11 small forward. Only downside to Jeffries is that his offense is almost as bad as Andersen's defense. If only we can somehow find a way to infuse those 2.....

You bought that BS? JJ is a hair above average D vs many F matchups. He's an emergency option otherwise.
