Don't get it twisted, Al Jefferson's been a monster in The League since '06, when he averaged 16 and 11 boards in Boston. Last year, he stepped his game up to 21 and 11 in Minnesota. And this year has called for more of the same: 23 and 11. The difference over this past month, and this past week in particular, has been the results in the Win/Loss columns. In each of those previous seasons, and the first 3 months of this current season, it's been mostly L's for Jefferson. However, in January, the Timberwolves have the best record in the league, at 10-3. Over the past week, Jefferson's led them to 3-2, including a win over New Orleans. In a win over the Bulls, Jefferson went off for 39 and 9. Jefferson, who's just 25, but already in his 5th season, has averaged nearly 28 and 10 dating back to last Friday, Jan. 23. And he gets the official "Slept On" title after being left off the All-Star team. Big ups To Al J.
