It’s nice to hear about Jeffries’ plans for the future because sometimes it can be hard to hear him at all. He is notoriously quiet and reserved. In Stockton, Ellis would occasionally designate practices where only Jeffries was allowed to talk. He wanted the 22-year-old prospect to come out of his shell and lead with his words, not just his actions. “When I first got here, or when I first got to the league, I was pretty hesitant to speak up on anything like that,” Jeffries said. “But I feel like as time went on I spent more time with the guys and during practice I felt more comfortable.”
