Scouting Reports: May 2010 - Jefferson showed why he is considered one of the top prospects in his class. He has developed his all-around game since we last saw him play, and can now do a little of everything. Jefferson is extremely long and does need to add weight, but right now he is an impossible match-up at the small forward position. Jefferson can post up down low and finish around the rim, or take defenders off the dribble from the perimeter. He also has outside range and can consistently knock down jumpers. Jefferson handles the ball well and finds open players. Defensively, he uses his length to block shots and control the glass (Jeff Borzello at Philly Underclass AS Game).
Oct 2009 - Jefferson was forced to play inside despite his preference to play facing the basket. Nonetheless, he stood out due to his length and athleticism. He blocked shots, grabbed rebounds and attacked the glass, ran the floor and even showed solid ball-handling ability. Moreover, Jefferson knocked down a three and posted up defenders well. He is going to be an outstanding small forward (Jeff Borzello at Eddie Griffin Challenge).
