SI Kids.com talks to Al Jefferson about last season, the playoffs, and his offseason workouts.
Did your coaches tell you to work on anything in particular this off-season?
Basically the same things. Trying to use my body around the goal. Duck
in when I have a chance to duck in. Other than that, everything they
tell me to work on is the same: My left hand, get better with the
jumper and stuff like that.

So who do you workout with in the off-season?
I go back to Minnesota and workout with the coaches and my other
teammates. We all play pickup ball towards the end of the summer.
