He's still young. Hopefully that kicks up the confidence a little. The Heat have picked on him defensively all night long. And any scout with the Kings direct competition worth their salt is paying attention.
I've always loved Jeffries and was one of the guys I wanted us to draft in the 2nd round. Happy to see him showing well.
I have wondered if he can guard NBA SFs at a high level (vs. being delegated to a PF). Will be interesting to get a good look at him during these games.
Watching Goran Dragić in this game reminds me that there was actually once a time when the best basketball player ever to come out of Slovenia was Beno Udrih.
Good sign for him is he's showed in his his spot shooting in the G-league. With players that basically played bruising PF's in college that are likely wings in the NBA that's always what keeps them out of the league.
Considering we're missing 3/5 of our starting lineup including our stud point guard and how awful things looked in the first quarter, I am walking away from this scrimmage cautiously optimistic.
How strange with no fans, missing a lot of audio from a normal broadcast. This is certainly going to be different, but thank goodness for the games coming up.
If you have a Roku tv, you can add the NBCSports app. It will have you verify with your cable or satellite server. It sometimes has the game listed under replay a little after the game ends.
