Jazzfanz: Al is ballstopper. Reality: Jefferson had highest pure pt rating of any center

[NUMBERICA]

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.

Consider your hide tanned, OP.

Big Al really has done a good job learning to pass out of a double team.

Unfortunately, he still stops the offense, pumps the ball a few times, spins once or twice, THEN passes the ball.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He gets every rebound that comes to him but he's horrible at boxing out, one of the worst I have ever seen.

Yeah, not acting like he is a rebounding god, but he is definitely better than average. He has great positioning for rebounds, just doesn't put enough focus into boxing out (like you said).
