Sounds like he's saying all the right things. Is there a video of the press conference up yet?
Big Al Press Conf.
- Thread starter Jazzman19
- Start date
Amazing, I thought he was going to go in there and tell everyone how he wanted to coast for the next 2 years and then be a stat whore on his final year and bolt for LA.

I'd like Big Al even more if he can get to the line more often.
His FTA/game are about the same as Boozer's over the last few years. I'm hoping DW will make a world of difference in getting him the ball down low in the right spots where teams will be forced to foul him.

He sounded genuine. So freshing. Pretty much the complete opposite of Carlos.
Yeah, but does he yell "And 1" like Carlos does? Until then, I wont be impressed.

It's just a nice change to hear "I wanna do whatever it takes to get better" instead of "I'm happy to bring my talents here."
I was relieved and thrilled to hear his response when asked if while Okur is injured he's ok playing the 5? "I've always played the 5. Only difference between the 4 and 5 is the 5 is the captain on defense. It's been a little bit of a weakness in my game but I"m gonna work hard on the defensive end." (paraphrazing)
Jazz have an offensive minded center that likes to get nasty in the paint! AND knows he's responsible for the defense and wants to do whatever it takes to get better there. This is much better than a defensive guy who can't score. Wow. Jefferson playing next to Millsap = awesome.

He played in 78 out 80(missed 2 for suspension) games coming off ACL surgery. So he seems durable

I don't get into the hype of press conference but Al Jefferson was honest and said all of the right things. Particularly impressed with his openness about his DUI and his eagerness to get his camp done at the end of the month and then move to SLC for the rest of the summer and get some work done before training camp opens up.

I liked his story about playing side by side with Millsap... "I just said "Respect"". Hahaha
Are you kidding me? That was the best feature of Boozer's game, and the only reason I liked him.
