. G/F. Utah Jazz. THABO SEFOLOSHA. B

Overall GPA: 3.00 (B)

45 percent from the field and 44 percent from three don’t quite sound right when talking about a “defensive specialist”.

That is what Sefolosha has done in November.

While Sefolosha doesn’t take a heavy load of shots, he has become one of Utah’s most efficient offensive weapons. This is a pleasant surprise as many believed he was brought here solely to play lock down defense.

Sefolosha has also provided the Jazz with good looks when the team is struggling to find their shot. In a league that has become centered around being able to shoot, it is refreshing to see Sefolosha constantly slash to the hoop with or without the ball.

He has also continued to be an excellent mentor for Mitchell, especially on the Defensive end.
