Could Deandre Jordan average a double double with the c's?

[lightspeed5]

8.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 24 minutes per game last season.. Assuming he could stay out of foul trouble in Boston, he could potentially average a double-double and over two blocks with an increase in minutes closer to 36 or so per game.

I think if we're tanking and we're just sending him out there until he fouls out every game, regardless of how it hurts us offensively with poor spacing and terrible free throw shooting, then yeah, it could happen.

Play Melo the other 12-18 minutes at center and we're guaranteed no more than 30 wins.

It the C's got a coach that allowed offensive rebound attempts in stead of running back on every shot he'd have a chance at 10 and 10.

[bobbyv]

Yes he could and most likely would with Rondo.

However, he'd still be overpaid

[ScoobyDoo]

Yes.

he could average 12-15 points and 8-12 boards a night, with a few blocks.

Jordan and Sully will be a load in the paint - we will need to add a couple of snipers from distance. A stud off guard and a vet swing man, both of whom can drain it from three land.

I think he will absolutely average a double double, because they are going to throw him out there for as many minutes as he can handle.

A lot of people think he is overpaid, If he gets 10/10 with 2 blocks is he worth 10 Million? How about 14/10/2?

dude avgs 8/7 in 24 minutes NEXT TO BLAKE GRIFFIN
you put him out there, making him the highlight of the front court and you think 15/10 is hard? with Rondo?

if we keep him, i'd def be eager to see what they do

I remember in a thread I said a core of Rondo/Jeff/AB/Sully could win a title with a good center...15/10 is good. dude can get 15 off just positioning himself right for offensive rebounds

idk
i think we should just do it.
ugh

[lightspeed5]

with jordan and sully, we could be back in the rebounding game.

i think the issue with some people tho is that we'd essentially be bad defensively
(which is something i don't necessarily agree with)

[LGC88]

The scorer would be Jeff and DJ, so they will both make arounf 15 to 20ppg. The quesiton is, what will be their FG%.
Anyway I think Danny has a plan to acquire a scorer like JSmoove or something like that (and maybe DJ will be the trading chip for that deal). We should wait and see first .

I changed my mind on deandre jordan. at first i was completely against the idea, but danny is going for the modern NBA playstyle, which requires athletic and QUICK centers (and all positions).... the slow bulky post playing center is quickly becoming extinct. with deandre jordan, we'd have one of the most athletic centers there is. You fight strength with speed. Rondo bradley Green and jordan are QUICK.

And a lumbering Sully behind them

DeAndre is almost certainly not the center that would push Rondo/Jeff/Bradley and Sully to a title.

As long as he was on the court with Rondo, it would be Hack-A-Celtic. All Day. E'ry Day. Forever.

Now, since someone mentioned Josh Smith, I'd say that a Green/Smith/DeAndre frontcourt with Rondo handling the ball would be a whole lot of fun to watch. Until they got fouled. And missed the free throw(s).

I've asked this once before but isn't a little over 1 point per possession a good number?

i don't see why not
i think with that group, you either need rondo and AB to start shooting 3s or you need to acquire a full blown scorer.

let's not forget rondo was 48% from midrange this year
jeff green is not a chucker...at all...very solid scorer (idk why we underplay that here)...shot 46.7%...shot 53% as a starter
AB shot 49.8% from the field when he didn't have to play PG in 2011-12

also, let's also not forget that Rondo got chris wilcox shooting at like 70+% at one point in the year because he ran the floor and could catch a lob. DAJ isn't better than CW?

but yea..Green/Smith/DAJ would be more fun to watch...I'm just saying...I don't think DAJ is ALL bad.
