Grade: B+
Season Averages: 4.4 PPG, 3.9 RPG
Season Highlight: Like fellow Knicks Landry Fields and Steve Novak, Jared Jeffries played his best basketball with the rise of Linsanity. Over a stretch of 9 games (2/4-2/15), all wins, Jeffries nearly doubled his season averages- averaging 7.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.2 STLPG and 1.2 APG. Also take into consideration that taken charges are not included into those stats- something that Jeffries excels at. He was a vital piece of the teams success during that period, especially being that they were undermanned.
Season Lowlight: Unfortunately, Jared Jeffries re-aggravated a knee injury in a road win vs. the Sixers. He would be forced to sit out for two weeks with an inflamed right knee and even upon returning was limited to 10-15 minutes per game. Jeffries, who had been such a huge part of the team, would essentially be a non-factor for the remainder of the season- including a tough 1st round series matchup vs. the Heat.
