I’m always giving Will Jeffress 💩

But he is straight ballin on D RN handling butter soft Efton Reid by being physical and denying him the ball. And he’s a good FT shooter 👀

Good move by Coach!

Nothing but❤️from Will💪🏽

Without Jeffress the comeback never happens…dude has balls to defend (and shut down) Efton. 7footer vs 6’ 7” forward

Jeffress brings too much of the dirty work to not see the floor more. Pitt can be soft at times. Jeffress’ game brings something nobody provides
