Haha, Jefferson would have nothing without the Weezy. None of his counter moves or pump fakes would work if he didn't have his go to move.

When The Jazz picked up AJ I watched a great deal of video and I can tell you for sure that the explosiveness is not there yet. Granted he's no Karl Malone but I think as the season goes on and he gains more confidence you'll see him attack the rim a lot more.

That is what is season lines will be by seasons end IMO. People need to quit griping about him. He is going to do just fine. With Deron Williams feeding him the ball, he will be a pretty solid bet for an All Star bid. He is starting to get used to the offense and the last 3 games have really showed what he can do. And that isn't even a glimpse of what he really can do. He can be so much more explosive.
Im guessing the same thing...I think in the back of his mind, he is still playing with an injury. He needs to get past that for that alone can hurt him.

UnstoppabAL!
I'm still in love with Big Al, especially his unstoppable Weezy. Do you critics realize how rare it is for a post player to have an indefensible shot? I think of Kareem with his sky hook, Shaq with his bull rush, Hakeem with his fadeaway and Nowitzki with his top-of-the-key jumper among just a handful. Exhibit A: Al against Camby, arguably one of the best one-on-one post defenders in the league. Al got off -- and made -- the Weezy whenever he wanted, to the point that Portland had to consistently double-team him. Exhibit B: Al against NO -- they had to double-team him on almost every possession. By mid-season, the Jefferson trade will be regarded with the same awe and anguish as the Gasol trade by GMs around the league, although the Jazzfanz naysayers will still be naysaying.

I stopped reading at this point. Camby is not close to one of the best one-on-one post defenders in the league. He's terrible at it. He's a good help defender but on post defense the guy is weak and just bad.
One of the biggest improvements I saw in AJ is he was actually ready to catch a pass when someone was driving with the ball. I think he had three nice lay ups on plays like that against NO. In previous games he is usually looking at the rim and ends up dropping the pass. It can only get better from here.

He comes from a culture of losing it going to take time people. Next year this guy will be a stud for the jazz
I noticed the same the same plays Smokey. I thought to myself, "Damn, son, looks like you're getting the hang of things, you big son of a bitch. You like that ****, huh son!?!!" Anyway, the Jazz offense is a difficult one to master. I have no doubt he will master it.
