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

[lightspeed5]

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

we didnt do so bad with a lumbering big baby now did we?

also, sully lost weight
i think next year, we should kind of clean the slate on him. see how he looks then.

how did wilcox shoot over 70%? i was under the impression that Wilt Chamberlain is the only player in NBA history to shoot over 70% for an entire season.

BBD was quick.

I got nothing against Sully. I got nothing but love for Sully.

But the thought of 4 lean, mean athletic machines... and one Sullinger...is pretty comical to me for some reason.

LOL
i didn't say the entire season

when Rondo was playing...probably earlier in the year. it was like a big thing

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?

id bro

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

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?

In complete and total isolation, where the game is experienced through a box score, an advanced statistics matrix, and without any visual stimuli,yes.

Do you want to watch that as a fan of the sport of basketball? Hacking is eye-gougingly awful to experience. Like a baseball game where every hit is waved off as a foul ball.

I see endless marches to the line. Stunted attempts at easy baskets. Wrapups at half court. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...


Also, rehashing myself from another thread, Rondo scores well from the midrange for two reasons--1) because he's afforded an incredible amount of space by defenders, and 2) because he's hesitant to shoot them unless he's so totally wide open that he has to.

This is a good thing. His jumper seemed to me to be a lot better before he went down with his injury, but as his shooting gets better, he'll face tighter perimeter defense.

Instead of missing free throws, they were missing mid range jumpers.

I don't know which is worse. A (likely) historically bad free throw shooting team or a really bad team offensively.

might as well enjoy this type of stuff

looking at alot of this CP3 to DAJ stuff...why not?

and before u say 'it was cuz they played the suns'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch2sUyHKBWw

no denying he's quick, long, athletic
worht 10m? maybe not...maybe Rondo can make him close to it tho?

[D.o.s.]

One hopes that they'd be taking fewer midrange jumpers without KG or Paul.


Also, if we're youtubing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ibi_sV83yI


Gives me scares of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S_soY5Jg_Q

Which is really all endemic of the fact that I'm stuck awake at three in the morning because we're attempting to trade for a guy who's seriously limited... that we could've drafted, and passed up for a guy who played ten NBA games total.

So no glass half full right now for me.

TP. Bring on DeAndre. Bring on the rebuild.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

He can.

Regardless of him making his free throws or not, he can grab 10-12 boards and score around 12 points a game if he's playing at least 32 minutes, which he should if he plays for us.

A little off topic but somewhat related. Im pretty sure that his bad FT% prompted some "coaching" to fix his shots.

To me DeAndre should just screw mechanics and shoot it like how he does before other people tweaked his shots. That video was posted, when I looked at it, to me he looks like he's trying hard to put an arc to the shot instead of just focusing and trying to put the ball in the hole. I think he'll improve he just completely scrap everything and just shoots comfortably, no matter how flat or how off the form is. Just like Duncan's and Bogut's FT's. They're not good shooters but certainly more reliable than DeAndre is at the line, and they never changed. Their FT's are still flat, yet it finds the hole. DeAndre should do the same. If he shoots 50% (make one, miss one), that's good enough.

there are vids on youtube where he makes em by banking them in

Deandre Jordan is the most overrated players in the nba, playoffs: 3,6 pp 6,6 reb.

KG at 37 and injured 12,7 pp and 13,7 reb in last playoffs.

Deandre Jordan= Highligts, no more.
