Amile Jefferson - SF - Friends Central School - Philadelphia, PA - DUKE

Goes to duke

Big get by Coach K.  Don't expect him to play too much as a frosh, but I am hoping for big things from him starting in 2013-2014 season.

I bet hell get around 20 minutes. Coach k loves those big small forwards  and he can play there as well as the 4

I hope he gets that much Amase.  Will depend on how he compares to Alex Murphy, and whether MP3 gets time, or whether they are using Ryan Kelly as the de facto 4.  if Ryan is used as a 3 with the Plumlee brothers at 4 and 5 much, then Amile's time will be more limited.  I think 10-15 is a more likely guess.  I guess also depends on if Coach K inexplicably plays Hairston a lot just because he's a vet (like Tyler Thornton).

I'm with you, Mase.  I really think think Amile has top 10-15 ability. I don't know why he's not ranked there, but I guess that's why I'm not an expert.  I think he comes in right away and demmands minutes. He is an intelligent, skilled player.  I think he's a face-up four at his best. 

Amile is a kid I really like.  Smooth and smart player.  He's not really a perimeter guy and has strange outside shot which he takes from his shoulder, but really effective at getting around guys.  He's smoker than Lance Thimas was.  Maybe a bit like Jeff Green?  Regardless, Duke got a real nice one.  Fwiw, I think SJU has our version of him in Jakarr Sampson who is probably as good but slightly different type of player.  Both are hybrid forwards who neither of which fit purely into the SF nor PF spots with their skill set.  Regardless, I look forward to handing Mr. Jefferson and his team a loss at the Garden this season.

Amile and JaKarr are both good kids as well. Will never see problems with them!

Smoker than Lance Thomas?
