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.
