Al Jefferson redemption

[gothapotamus]

I like the idea of memo coming back. I wonder what Memo's thoughts are while he's watching this team? I am sure a healthy Memo brings a lot to the table by adding a shooter and spreading the floor. But with Al, Fes, and with how well Elson has played, I wonder what the FO is thinking of doing with Memo... I am not suggesting the Jazz NEED to trade, but with the depth in the front court they have showed thus far, I imagine the FO is wondering if a healthy Memo is a tradeable piece that could bring some depth at another position.... like the 2.

Well compare the first 8 games

Boozer's first month with the Jazz
8 games
34 minutes per game
22.1 ppg
10.3 rpg
59% FG
.25 steals per game
.25 blocks
2.3 assists per

Boozer shooting 59% would be a good indicator of grasping the system faster. Al only shooting 45% which is only 5% lower than his career average. Which seems low for a big man. So this might be what is to be expected from him, only slightly better.


Boozer really got off to great start with the Jazz he had 27/11 first night against the Lakers and then had a 30/17 his third game against Denver.


Al hasn't been as terrible as people say but he hasn't had the start Boozer had.

We also cannot forget that AJ is playing a different position than Bozzer.

This. He doesn't get nearly as many plays run for him as Boozer did/Paul does. If Boozer was asked to score un-assisted (like Al is) there is no way he'd average 20+ ppg.

I've said it over and over and over again...I am not worried about Jefferson coming into his own. No worries at all.

Well done, Chad. Hook, line, sinker.

You caught some big ones, too.


..Oh ****, wait, you were serious?

The most valuable stat among all of those listed to me though is the one that says... "BLOCKS"... Much more valuable if you ask me... JMO
