Davon Jefferson: An NBA Age Limit Case Study |
|
|
|
| by: Rodger Bohn - Director of Prep Scouting |
| September 29, 2005 |
Menzies, Marvin Menzies, he went to Louisville. I just wasn’t really comfortable coming to Vegas no more. When he left, that was another big decision for me leaving. I just don’t wanna go there no more.
DraftExpress: So what schools are you still looking at?
Jefferson: Louisville, UCLA, USC, Kansas, and Oklahoma State.
DraftExpress: So I take it that all of those schools have offered you?
Jefferson: No. I can’t really talk to anyone right now because I still haven’t been officially released from UNLV.
DraftExpress: A lot of people said that you were thinking of entering the NBA Draft last season, what made you decide against putting your name in?
Jefferson: I felt that I wasn’t ready. I think if I play hard this year, gain some weight, work on my jumpshot, work on my dribbling, I think I’ll be better off coming out this year.
DraftExpress: What position do you envision yourself being in the NBA?
Jefferson: A 3 for sure.
DraftExpress: So you’ve mentioned that you need to work on your shot to make the transition to the 3 at the next level, what are some other things that you think you need to work on to make that transition from more of a combo forward like you are now to a full time 3?
Jefferson: My defense. I’m going to have to guard on the wings. I’m going to have to work on that. I’m going to have to work on that a lot.
DraftExpress: Speaking of guarding wings, you had to guard a pretty tough one today in Bill Walker. What’s it like having to guard him?
Jefferson: It was a good experience for me. I enjoyed it. It was a good game. He’s really good.
DraftExpress: Have you decided on a prep school yet?
Jefferson: I haven’t decided on one yet. It’s between Mount Zion and Stoneridge Prep in California.
DraftExpress: Well what are some of the factors in your decision on a prep school?
Jefferson: As long as they can get me eligible…because I’m not worried about them working me out because I’m going to get better myself because I have people around me who are going to get me better. I’m just going to work hard. As long as I can get eligible and see what kind of schedule they’re playing, who they’re playing against, that’s going to be the decision I make.
DraftExpress: So are you still keeping the NBA as one of your options for 2006?
Jefferson: Oh yeah. Definitely. |
