Youre out of your mind if you think otherwise. Especially when alcsucks on defense

:usure:

Whatever Jefferson lacks in defensive ability, he makes up for in his offensive game. Jefferson was 13th in scoring for centers @ 12.0 PPG last year (47 games played in regular season) & 4th in scoring for centers @13.3 PPG in the post season.

:comeon: And so is Joakim Noah!
Noah has a DPoY, two All-Star appearances, a top 5 MVP finish and playoff pedigree. He is an elite defender and low post playmaker. Overall, he's more valuable y'all care about scoring too much.

Jefferson is a nice low post scorer but a blackhole who kills ball movement and :trash: ass defender...

I liked the Thad Young pick up but Ellis and Jefferson's defense :scust:

They're both one way players, but Noah's defense is more valuable than Jefferson's offense.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out breh.:pachaha:

However at this point in both players careers, Jefferson would be more valuable as a player than Noah.

Past tense performances & accolades doesn't transfer into potential or future performance. Plus Noah's overall defensive skill set has taken a nosedive in the last couple of seasons due to his injuries.

Past tense performance is always considered guys always get overpaid based on shyt they've done.

Noah had one of the best defensive box plus minuses in the league last year and teams are under the assumption that he is healthy now...

And all this still doesn't guarantee future performances playing or production wise.


Noah had one of the best defensive box plus minuses in the league last year.

Which is also based on a small size set of Noah only playing 29 games.@ 21.4 minutes per game. :mjlol:

Didn't Larry fire Vogel because he wanted the team to be faster yet he signed one of the slowest player in the NBA?

Pacers offence vastly improved this off-season but defensively they have regressed. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out over there come all-star break next year.

Jefferson actually signed a below market contract if we are going off of the ones signed by the likes of Mozgov and Parsons. Plus he will only probably be asked to play like 25 minutes a game with them probably wanting to play Turner at center a lot and Thad at power forward.
