DeAndre Jordan, Los Angeles Clippers
This is an easy one to kick off this piece. DeAndre Jordan was named to the All-NBA first team this past season. I’m pretty sure that Jordan isn’t the best center in the NBA. That is impossible.
With all due respect to Jordan, this is a guy that has made a career playing next to Chris Paul. And dunking. Mostly, thanks to CP3 though.
Sure, Jordan is a great athlete and is one of the best interior defenders in the NBA, but he’s so bad on the offensive end that this shouldn’t even be an argument. Jordan has no offensive fire power other than jumping over defenders. And catching lobs.
DeAndre Jordan is a good player, don’t get me wrong. But he’s not the best center in the NBA. Or even a top 3 center in the game. Cool it.
