Is he overpaid? Yes. Was he worth overpaying for? Yes. The 6’10’’ big man has brought his interior toughness to Charlotte. No one has questioned Jefferson’s offensive game over the years. Big Al has been a double-double machine during his career and so far in Charlotte he is averaging 15.9 points and nine boards. The question has always been about his defensive ability–or lack of. The Bobcats are allowing only 90.8 points in games in which Jefferson has played in. Not bad, eh?
