Al Jefferson to Utah? ...Mark Stein's Twitter reports

I haven't seen Jefferson play enough to have an opinion on his defense...I know he isn't considered a very good defender, but how does he compare to Boozer? Anyone familiar with Jefferson's defensive prowess?

Not sure either, but he takes up more space and averages around a block and a half....can't be worse imo.
 
If he can play center - that's what the Jazz need. You use up the 13M exception, but Jefferson's better than Booze.

C - Jefferson, Fes, Okur
PF - Millsap, AK, Koufos
SF - Brewer, AK
SG - CJ, Brewer
PG - Deron, Shannon Brown?, Price
 
Jefferson is the best option we will find through trades. It will hurt us again with the luxury but its really our best option by far.

Jefferson is a good help defender but he takes too many chances man to man. Which actually would be a relief after watching Boozer and Okur let guys drive into the lane. Jefferson is longer and more athletic than Okur. And he would be sharing the scoring with Millsap so his energy would be saved for defense. I am all for it right now after seeing our other (none) options out there.
