Big Al named All-NBA


Recommended Posts

    Charlotte Hornets center Al Jefferson was named All-NBA third-team Wednesday, in a vote of media members who regularly cover the league.

Jefferson averaged 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and shot 51 percent from the field, leading the then-Bobcats to only the second playoff appearance in that franchise’s 10-year history    

 

Fug yeah

I really don't get all the love Noah gets. He is a good player but I don't consider him to be as good as everyone else seems to.

 

Congrats to Big Al, he totally deserved getting his name in the hat.

 

 

Name the Centers you would take over him? 

 

He is an all-around solid player. Nothing fancy but does everything well. Has good inside game able to use both hands, ugliest jump-shot outside of MKG and Shawn Marion but it finds its way in. Great athleticism and hustle make him a great defender inside and on the perimeter. Great at rebounds with fundamentals and effort. What I like best about him is is passing ability, he has great vision and natural knack for creating for teammates. He also can bring ball up court off rebounds and push the pace.  

 

He is a top 3-5 Center easily to me: Marc Gasol, Dwight Howard, Noah, Big Al, Timmy D and quickly rising is Anthony Davis. Listed in no particular order...

 

He isn't great at anything but above average at everything on the court. That is why I feel he gets overlooked so often.

I agree he is close to top 5, but I think that tells more about how weak the Center position currently is in the NBA more than it does about him. He is a good player, but I don't think he should ever finish top 5 in MVP voting.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
