DeAndre Jordan pros and cons...

[corgiBear8]

i NEVER want to see Andre Miller on this team, EVER again.

totally agree.

The thing with Jordan is that he got outplayed terribly by a 6'9 Kevin Love during the NCAA Tourny. Yes, he is raw as hell, but I would rather have taken a guy who could contribute instantly. It will be some time before Jordan even makes some contribution for the Clipps.

I would agree with you had the Clippers traded up to get him. But most 2nd rounders don't even stay in the NBA, much less 'contribute instantly'. At least this guy seems to have an NBA body and size.

Players like CDR and Bill Walker should stay in this league for years to come, and would actually play some role into the team's production.

CDR would've been a great addition and almost certainly would've made Mobley expendable, but alas that isn't the case and we need Cat. On a positive note, I listened to Jordan's interview on 570 and he claims that he was been working diligently on his FTs and that he's dramatically improved and will shoot a much higher percentage next season. I truly hope this is the case...

the pro is the clippers got him in the 2nd round when he was a projected top 10 draft pick earlier in the year.

the con is that he was a projected top 10 draft pick and dropped all the way to the 2nd round.
