Personally, I never liked Jeffries up until this year. He is a pesky defender and a vital peice to the Wizards. He won't give you more than 8 a game, but his defense is valuable enough to keep him if he's reasonable.
I always remember him as the player when during the playoffs last year against the Bulls. When the ball bounced off of Kirk Heinrich's back, Jeffries picked it up and fastbreak dunked it for basically the win. lol I wasn't actually aware of his defensive work. They even complimented him in this article as the Wizard's best defender. I'm interested to see how high the Wizards are willing to go to keep him locked in D.C
A lot of teams are actually interested in him because he's so big, yet he can play the SG. He was pestering LeBron all series long in the first round of the playoffs. He's very underrated defensively and I'd love to keep him in Washington, if the price is right.
