3. DeAndre Jordan, Los Angeles Clippers

2014-2015 Stats: 11.5 points, 15 rebounds and 2.2 blocks

If I was Mark Cuban, I’d be mad too. Jordan emerged this year as one of the best centers in the league. He was the leading rebounder among centers, and shot 71 percent from the field. The only knock on Jordan is that 53.2 percent of his shots are dunks. Oh, and he also shoots 39.7 percent from the line (Still better than you, Drummond).

But Jordan’s defense outweighs his shooting woes, and he serves as an emphatic shot blocker for the Clippers. Is he worth the $87 million he got this free agency? No. But if Tyson Chandler is making $52 million, then certainly yes.

I’m not sure how the Clippers get to the next level. They have an all-star point guard, a workhorse center, the star of KIA commercials and Hedo Turkoglu. Sorry I can never turn down a good Turkoglu joke.

Next: DeMarcus Cousins
