Little Jordan during the Clippers period
2.11 meters tall, 2.29 meters arm span, 2.88 meters standing touch height, 120 kg weight. Jordan Jr. Draft Report: He is a very good big man, 7 feet tall (about 2 meters 13), athleticism, explosiveness, bouncing ability is very rare, the potential is huge; he is very large, can gain weight, and become a dominant center on both ends of the attack and defense. Judging from the draft report, Jordan Jr. was still a good view of him in the outside world at that time, because he was a second-round show player, naturally there were also his deficiencies, please listen to [Astro Boy Kan ball] in the following.
Jordan Jr., who was a rookie in the Clippers, was not the team's main development object, and he failed to play the starting center position from the moment he entered the NBA, after all, there are still many technical deficiencies. For example, interior foot and consciousness, back foot and shooting ability are very ordinary, and shooting ability can even be said to be none. The team didn't have enough confidence to be the starter. In the rookie period of the substitute center stage, Jordan Jr. played 53 games, of which 13 were arranged as a starter, but he did not play much time, the performance was OK, averaging 14.5 minutes per game, able to contribute 4.3 points, 4.5 boards and 1.1 blocks. As a rookie, Jordan Jr. showed his blocking skills better than other centre-forwards.
Paul put his hand on Jordan Jr. shoulder
By the start of the 10-11 season, the Clippers had placed Jordan Jr. in the starting center position, and that's when Jordan Jr. got better and better, showing the league his ability to tackle the basket in the penalty area. At the beginning of the 11-12 season, the arrival of Chris Paul activated Jordan Jr., and the performance in dunks, follow-up under the basket after the blocking, and the empty dunks were amazing, and the offensive methods were basically dunks, which had to be reminiscent of the performance of the big shark O'Neal in dominating the penalty area. His excellent physical talent also makes his disadvantage on the defensive end inconspicuous. Wide shoulders and wide back can easily limit the opponent's attack. With a brilliant and brilliant dunk, the Clippers have been called the City of Air Connections since the 11-12 season.
In the Clippers' 10 seasons, Jordan Jr. was very skilled in the basket, and picking up cakes was just a routine operation. His footsteps are much stronger than when he was a rookie, but his shooting ability is very bad, and he will not shoot three-point and mid-range shots, which has always been the biggest obstacle to his development. It can be said that Jordan Jr. spent the peak of his career in the Clippers and also came to a transition period.
Scoring rebounding block efficiency chart
Due to the slow passage of Jordan Jr.'s peak period, the pace of movement is not as fast as before, the physical function has declined significantly, still failed to develop the ability to shoot in the middle and three-point ability, in the era of three-point rainy small balls, Jordan Jr. was not popular in the center position, and then he left the Clippers, joined the Lone Ranger, and was traded to the Knicks after the Lone Ranger, and finally came to the Nets
Knicks period Jordan Jr
During this season, Jordan Jr. played for two teams, the Lone Rangers and Knicks. In these two teams, Jordan Jr. is still the starting center position, he averaged 27 minutes per game, can contribute 10.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.05 blocks, and is still a double-double machine from the data point of view. But the functionality is too low, only suitable for a little role in the penalty area to attack the basket, in the change of defense and pull away space, the pace is too slow, the defensive end is not effective, a whole season is the same.
Jordan Jr. during the Nets era
Jordan Jr., who came to the Nets, was not the core of the team in the 19-20 season, and only 6 games were played as a starter. In the 20-21 season, in the regular season, Jordan Jr. became the core of the team, and in 43 of the 57 games he played, he was a starter, averaging 7.5 points, 7.5 boards and 1.1 blocks per game. This season, the Nets' roster has been surprisingly strong, with players such as Irving, Harden, Durant, Griffin, Jordan, Harris and others. The depth of the lineup can be said to be the top three in the league, and it is also a favorite team to win the championship. However, the results have long been out, and the second round of the playoffs lost to the Bucks and had no chance to impact the championship.
Jordan Jr. is not very useful at the Nets, he can't contribute much on the defensive end, and the presence of Big Three Irving Harden Durant, the team's offensive end is very strong, scoring points enough. The only deficiencies are the rim and defense, but Jordan Jr.'s attributes are the opposite, moving slowly and not being aggressive defensively. Can't beat coach Nash's infinite change of defense tactics, can't open the space. In the playoffs, Jordan Jr. was even more abandoned. When encountering strong inner teams such as the Bucks and Lakers, the Nets' restricted area is often to be exploded, can not prevent Davis, can not prevent the letter brother, the drawbacks are too obvious, and it is understandable to be abandoned.
merit:
(1) Strong ability to finish under the basket. Jordan Jr., who has more physical talent, is an inexplicable presence in the penalty area, with sufficient strength and excellent arm span, able to score the ball against the defender, and more importantly, score through dunks.
(2) Good rebounding ability. Once the two-time rebounding king, Jordan Jr. is still very good at predicting rebounds, can be stuck in advance, occupy a favorable position to take the rebounds, and get another offensive opportunity for the team.
(3) Strong capping ability. Jordan Jr. is also good at predicting the opponent's offense, averaging 1 block per game, interfering with opponents' shots and boosting morale.
shortcoming
(1) The footsteps move slowly. Nowadays, the pace of the NBA's games is getting faster and faster. Larger, slow-moving centers are too unappetizing, and they are often countered by a wave of quick attacks from their opponents. In this way, Jordan Jr. is easy to lose points in the presence
(2) Can't open the space. Jordan Jr. is too limited in his playing style, and it can be said that he will only attack the basket, and will simply go to the basket, dunk, and follow up under the basket. There is almost no hand work, the mid-range shooting has not yet been developed, and it is not possible to pull the opponent from the penalty area to the outside line to create a breakthrough environment for teammates, which is a more obvious drawback of Jordan Jr
(1) Improve your attitude and be more focused and positive about the game.
In the past few seasons, Jordan Jr.'s attitude to the game has been worse. He originally had enough physical conditions (wide shoulders and wide back, natural defensive advantage) to prevent the opponent's attack, once the snack, basically able to defend the opponent's attack basket is close to the basket. However, Jordan Jr. did not do so. If he is more careful about the game, I believe that the defensive efficiency will be improved a lot
(2) Develop mid-range shooting capabilities
The most taboo in the small-ball era is the center player who does not have the ability to shoot, similar to Jordan Jr. Although they can survive in the NBA level, their contribution is limited. Still not the standard center for the winning team. Jordan Jr. would be great if he developed a mid-range ability to help the team open up space.
(3) Strengthen the training of moving footsteps
Today's little Jordan, the defense is not very good. It is often eaten by opponents, and the reason is that the pace of movement is slow. If Jordan Jr. can properly reduce weight and strengthen the speed of moving footsteps, then the overall ability is still very suitable for the league's teams.
Today, the NBA is also in the offseason stage, and there are many trading messages. Here's a message about Jordan Jr.'s deal: According to NBA reporter Ian Begley, sources have revealed that several teams have had trade discussions with the Nets about center DeAndre Jordan.
One of the discussions involved a tripartite deal, but it was unclear whether those discussions had made progress, the sources said.
As for whether Jordan Jr. will leave the Nets in the offseason, it will have to wait for the test of time, and the author believes that there is a high probability that he will leave. After all, Jordan Jr. really doesn't fit into the Nets system, and the Nets now need players who can make a big contribution on the defensive end.
Jordan Jr. is also 33 years old at this stage, his peak has passed, and in the next career, I think he does not need to pursue big contracts. I'm still missing a championship ring in my career, and it's time to make a change and develop more skills to pursue championships.
