DeAndre Jordan: 7’0, 260, C, Fr. Texas A&MDeAndre Jordan Video
There’s no reason to believe that Jordan has the skills or talent to succeed as an NBA player right now. He was average at best in his one college season and he was badly outplayed by Kevin Love in the NCAA tournament. Nevertheless, Jordan will be drafted in the first round. NBA teams are so desperate for actual centers that they will draft one that averaged only 8 PPG and 6 RPG in college despite owning a huge size advantage against every opponent. In fairness to Jordan, he is only 19-years old and already has an NBA body, so it’s possible that if he develops some low-post scoring moves and learns how to use his size he’ll become an adequate player. However, that scenario will require greater faith in Jordan than I have.
