Joshua Jefferson

Draft Notes

Jefferson is a highly productive and talented big forward who is a standout at the college level and will get a long look from NBA scouts.

He plays an all around game scoring in the post, finding open teammates and hitting the boards hard on both ends.

He’s a pesky defender who has really good hands and good defensive instincts. He’s not a big time leaper or shot blocker but is fundamentally sound and has some defensive versatility.
