What's with the Jefferson hate? Dude's a beast.
Is anyone else tired of people naming threads "Official .... .... .... Thread?" I know I am and I fixed it with a disclaimer.
On the real issue: Jordan benefitted tremendously this season by playing with Blake Griffin a lot in the second half of the season. So much attention got paid to Griffin on the block that Jordan was frequently able to establish insanely deep post position, which is part of why you see all those dunks.
Jordan is a sucker's bet because he's likely to decline in value the moment he leaves his current team unless he is paired with another player that attracts just as much attention. The Jazz don't have that player.

The Al Jefferson who had a pathetically low TS%, no clue about team offense or defense, saggy arms, an inability to run the floor or box out. The one with the pathetic raw and adjusted +/-. That one.
Al Jefferson is a perfect example why PER is worthless: Basketball is a team game.

Did you read the rest of my post?
PER is one of my preferred metrics, but no one metric tells all. I generally have the opinion that if a PER and +/- tell the same story, you're getting just about the full story.
As it pertains to volume scorers, I use +/- to see if they're actually helping, or if they're ignoring/not capable of doing all of the other things necessary to win.
