Signing Jared Jeffries would be the greatest change for clippers in this offseason.
Jarred Jeffries is a very athletic defender and would greatly improve the clipper defensive, both where shot blocking is concerned and help out rebounding is concerned. He also has that solid perimeter 3 point shot that we have been crying for.
We have good defenders but if they are not at the right height they will be in effective against taller perimeter shooters, right now I don’t think Quinton Ross or Maggette are not tall enough to through-off the shot of player like Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Tracey McGrady, Rashard Lewis, Vladimir Radmanovic.
The reason why D. Wade was able to destroy the Dallas Mavericks with his lame jumpshot is because the only defender on the team quick enough to follow wade was too short to through-off or give any real challenge to his shot (Devin Harris), so he used this to win a championship. If he had tried that stunt against Detroit, Tayshaun Prince would have caused him to break his back on his second attempt in game 3 one of the reasons why he was not a factor in that series.
