The Knicks really need 30-year old forward Jared Jeffries to step up with Josh Harrellson out for the next six weeks due to a broken wrist.  Jeffries has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 19.1 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game.  Jeffries isn’t as good of an offensive player as Harrellson is, but he is a solid defensive player and the Knicks don’t have many of them.
