Al Jefferson: 'I tip my hat to the front office'

Al Jefferson has spent his entire career getting double-teamed in the low post. It's exhausting, frustrating stuff. But, finally, it's all starting to change. 

Why? All of a sudden, Charlotte is one of the best three-point shooting teams in the league, and the space Jefferson's teammates provide has allowed more one-on-one opportunities in the post, per The Charlotte Observer:

Jefferson is only averaging 14.8 points per game, but his field goal percentage is the highest it's been since 2007. It's funny what a little space can do. 

“I tip my hat to the front office. They did a great job of getting the guys I need around me,” Jefferson said. “Team that decide to double are going to find that difficult. “And importantly, I’m passing the ball, looking for guys.”
