D.J. Jeffries brings veteran glue-guy value for Mississippi State
A 6-foot-7 graduate-student forward for Mississippi State, D.J. Jeffries is the kind of steady, low-drama veteran coaches trust: in the 2022-23 season, he averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals while starting all 34 games, showing he can defend, rebound and make winning hustle plays. His appeal is less flashy scoring than reliability, versatility and toughness — the sort of forward who can switch roles, cover mistakes and keep the engine humming. If your team needs an experienced, physical connector, he fits the bill.
