Cory Jefferson was Baylor’s rim-running, shot-blocking tone-setter
In the 2013-14 season, Cory Jefferson was a high-impact Baylor forward who averaged 13.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game, giving the Bears a physical inside presence with real two-way bite. He also posted 13.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game in the 2012-13 season, which earned him All-Big 12 recognition. His differentiators were length, timing as a rim protector, and efficient interior scoring; the knock was that his offense was largely paint-based, so fit is best for teams needing an energetic frontcourt defender and rebounder.
