Al Jefferson is a good center, an old-timer type one with post moves that not every center has. But he is a black hole. And he does not defend the pooping fly. He has good attitude and he's helpful and motivating to the young ones. That's about it.

The problem is not Al's offence, it's his defence.

Big Al......... where should I start with my hatred?

Among qualified centers, Al was tied for 3rd in usage and 1st in turnover percentage. Despite the high usage rate, Al was 25th in assist percentage. You should probably start your analysis by looking at what pure point rating actually measures.

I agree with just about everything you said. Al can defend one-on-one in the post. He either is just incapable of defending the pick and roll or he doesn't put enough effort into it.
