For Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, mentors in a time of need

The Nets have a lot invested in Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who despite being 20 years old is viewed as one of the team's top defenders ... which may be more a comment on his teammates' defensive issues than his skills. Chad Ford thought he was the best defender in the draft, bar none. Danny Chau of Grantland says RHJ is "most likely the team’s best defensive player and he hasn’t played a single minute yet."

And he admits he wants to go up against the best of the best, telling NetsDaily on Media Day, ""LeBron has the title of being the greatest player in the world," said Hollis-Jefferson.
