Skiles: Al Jefferson Could Be Best Low-Post Player In NBA

Bucks' coach Scott Skiles saw Al Jefferson up close on Monday night and came away believing that the center could be the best low-post threat in the league today.

"If he's not the best, he's one of the best low-post players in the league," Skiles said of Jefferson. "He's got that, I guess I would call it a jump hook that he can shoot from ... 12 to 14 feet, and it's just a feathery soft touch."
