Al Jefferson and His High Demand

As anyone from online sports betting Australia  can tell you, the NBA has a nasty habit on placing a lot of value on certain players that often disregards their skill set and actual contributions. This pattern is more obvious when you look at the big men signing in the free agency periods of the past years. Well, there’s a common consensus that there’s not a lot of skilled big men who can play like the centers and power forwards of old. That is why even the average big men of these days get paid big despite the lack of significant impact that they add to a team.

Now, I’m not underrating the skills of Al Jefferson. However, when I read the reports that free agent center Al Jefferson is seeking at least $15 million per year from teams who are want to sign him, I chuckled. Add to that the report that the Charlotte Bobcats are interested in him made burst out laughing.

Acknowledging his offensive prowess

Jefferson is offensively-gifted player, having a good arsenal of moves that allows him to provide low-post scoring for any team he plays for. His rebounding numbers is also solid. Now, these two things make him a desirable player. However, his weakness is something that can’t be overlooked.

Lack of defense

As good as he is in scoring; he is just as bad in stopping opponents from scoring. In the NBA wherein the current trend for success is having a solid defense first prior to good offense, a player like Jefferson shouldn’t be given that much amount of money. Still, when the Bobcats are involved, anything can happen. No matter how ridiculous it might be.
