Headed to China
Jefferson is expected to sign with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, Jordan Guskey of the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Jefferson was recently let go by the Pacers after playing just 36 games in his 14th NBA season. After failing to drum up much interest as a free agent, Jefferson has opted to head overseas where he may have received a more lucrative contract. Despite signing in China, the 6-foot-10 big man could try and latch on with an NBA contender following the completion of his international season, though Jefferson hasn't stated anything quite yet indicating that's his plan.

Jefferson – an old-school center with an arsenal of ground-bound post moves and mid-range jumpers -- played just 66 games last season due to a combination of injuries and DNP-CDs, but made sure to produce when he took the floor. Despite seeing only 14.1 minutes per game, Jefferson recorded 8.1 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 49.9 percent from the field (which would translate to 20.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per 36 minutes). The 32-year-old’s best years are certainly behind him, though he’s found a nice high-usage reserve role behind Indiana’s promising young center, Myles Turner. Looking ahead to the 2017-18 campaign, it appears that Jefferson should occupy relatively the same role he did last season. While the Pacers added the likes of Domantas Sabonis via trade and Ike Anigbogu through the draft, they’re both still quite raw players and are capable of spending time at power forward as well. Jefferson is far from a top-tier Fantasy option, but likely still holds some value in very deep leagues, as well as DFS in the event of Myles Turner’s absence.
