Deandre Jordan ?? 

Post#1 » by NBAMAN4LIFE » Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:24 am

Is he coming out ? I see him on some mocks but then on other sites he is not even listed.. I think out of all the big man Hibbert Thabeet Love ect that he has the most upside...

most mocks have him coming out while others dont, but i think he should stay at least 3 years so he can develop his offense game

He should probably wait another year and come out next year. This is a crowded draft and he is pretty raw. If he plays his way into being a lock top 5-8 guy he should come out. If not, he should wait a year IMO. But, I still love his upside.

He should wait, if he's comes out i'm afraid he'll be in the same situation as Wright is now with GS. He has tons of talent and ozes potential but he needs to stay at least another year and polish his game a bit.

What happened to him? should be the question labeled on Jordan right now. His stock is free-falling faster than a skier in Aspen, and a top 10 talent should never be a bench player.

Take a look at Jordan's past 5 games:

He needs to stay another year at Texas A&M and become the undisputed "Man" their, right now he is just another 7+ footer that has too much pressure on him.

He is only freefalling in the minds of fans, which can be quite fickle. Jordan is a guy being drafted on potential, and that has not changed. Daequan Cook was not a starter last year, and he is proving to be a top 10 player in that draft. Marvin Williams did not start the year he was drafted #2. Freshman do not always start on good teams, that does not make them any less of a prospect.

Don't make blanket statements like that. They simply don't always apply; just ask Marvin Williams.

If Marvin wasn't doing Decent this year, you wouldn't be saying that.

Marvin was the exception, not the rule. Plus, he actually preformed at a high level for a title team. Jordan is a fringe bench guy giving limited production on a 1-done tourney team.

At least a year or two maybe even a third would be good for this kid. He really need to improve his offensive game, before moving onto the next level. By the way I was watching a bit of the Texas game, but does he really have a jump shot?
