I can only assume you have not watched a single moment of Chandler's career. Chandler is indeed a very serious offensive weapon. Both his years in New Orleans and a good part of his career in New York, the main offensive sets involve Chandler's picks. He is one of the best in the business.
Clippers can hang onto Jordan if they don't want to win a championship.
And those plays result in a dunk, right? That's what I said. Chandler cannot score unless it's a dunk. DeAndre Jordan can already do that. It's not like Chandler can spot up or score in the post. He isn't an upgrade over DeAndre on the offensive end unless you factor in free throw shooting.
Yeah, OK mate.
I really don't understand how you can even disagree with that lol. If you've watched every game he's played in for the past couple years, you can probably count the times that he's scored in the post on one or two hands.
Beyond the eye test, if you look at his numbers, 86% of his shots come "at rim" AKA within 3 feet of the basket. He shot just under 70% on those shots. Anything outside of that, he shot around 40%.
Comparing him to DeAndre Jordan this year (which is obviously a small sample size, especially considering Chandler only played in 4 games so far, but that's all I have to work with with Synergy), they're used pretty much identically in terms of what kinds of plays they score off of, with the exception that Jordan scores on cuts twice as much as Chandler. But anyways, neither guy gets looks in the post (under 7% of their offense, like I said before), and they score pretty much equally in terms of points per possession.
I mean, we're talking about two guys that play over 30 minutes a game and struggle to hit double digits in points. I don't think anyone in NBA circles is going to say that either of them are anything more than below-average on the offensive end.
