D-Will to Al Jefferson: ‘I’m Going to Make You an All-Star’

Deron Williams made a promise to his new big man, and Al Jefferson tells the Salt Lake Tribune that he bought into it immediately: “D Williams is Batman. He’s Batman. He’s the captain. He’s the guy, you know. And I’m Robin. So I’m willing to do whatever. I’m not worried about jelling with him. I’m going to adjust to him. Whatever he needs me to do is going to be done. Because the first thing he said to me when I talked to him is, ‘I’m going to make you an All-Star.’ And when he said that to me, I believed him. He wasn’t just talking. He wasn’t just saying it because it sounded good. He really means that. And I’m not going to do nothing to mess that up. Whatever he wants me to do. I know he told me one thing, he was joking. He said I don’t really dunk a lot in the games. And so [he said], ‘If I throw you a sweet pass, you’re going to have to dunk it.’ And if he wants me to start dunking, I’ll dunk it.”

    cant he make himself an allstar? that would be more my aim. wow at him calling himself robin…. come on man, dont just accept you are a biiiiiiiiiiiii

    Make no mistake, Boozer ain’t an all-star, and when his production and efficiency drops off this year because he hasn’t got a PG like D-Will feeding him dunks and open jumpers, everyone will see that. No disrespect to Rose, but he still hasn’t got that rock-solid jumpshot, and he’s a SG playing the point. What’s his assist average? Four, five a game?

    With all the attention D-Will gets, Al Jefferson might well end up an all-star. Deron is one of those guys who can make even the likes of skinny center Okur and undersized Boozer all-stars.

    Big Al should have been an allstar already….

  • ClydeSays

    They could make a great combo. Al lags on D though, so that will be interesting to see. Sloan does not tolerate missed assignments, something Big Al tend to do… We’ll see.

    Chris Paul busted up his knee. Any knee injury= death of career

    “Mo Williams and Rondo would like a word with those who think that CP3 is best point in the league.”

    Mo Williams????????

    ……………

    I am sorry I just fainted.

    I think Big All will do just fine in Utah. Having Deron Williams and better players around him can only make him better really. He’ll prob go for 15 & 8 this season, something like that.

  • monkeyball

    Al Jefferson is definitely an improvement over Carlos Boozer.

  • KB8toSG8

    A few things. D-Will is better than every other PG out there except CP3, who is a bit more talented but a lot less durable. Rondo isn’t even close in the discussion. He’s a great defender, the best pickpocketer in the L :P and has the unique ability of grabbing rebounds ( for a PG, that’s unique) but doesn’t even have a good offense other than his drive. Hell, if you defender sags off you in the Finals when you’re on the perimeter, you know you suck as a shooter. Rose is nowhere close as well. And not selecting D-Will along with CP3 is a travesty to the All-Star game.
