Jefferson, Pastner learn by living together

Richard Jefferson had a lot of fun off the court last year.

Living with his best friend and teammate, Luke Walton, the sophomore forward lived the ultimate college experience at Jefferson Commons Apartments - parties, pretty girls and plenty of excitement.

"Socially, it is probably best that I live with Luke and hang out with him," Jefferson says. "Luke is still my best friend at the school, I wish I could live with him, and I miss hanging out with him a lot but I know what's best for me, basketball-wise."

A new year has provided a lot of change for the 6-foot-7-inch forward, though.

Gone are the parties and the craziness, in are the game tapes, basketball books and a new roommate - graduate assistant coach Josh Pastner.
