DeAndre Jordan doesn’t have the most versatile offensive game; it’s an anomaly to see him take a shot from outside the paint. Luckily for Jordan, the Clippers have other players that can take those shots. He is able to focus on making layups and impressive dunks.
He only averaged 8.8 points per game last season, but Brandon Knight knows he makes his buckets stand out. With a guy like Jordan, it’s better to just foul him and enjoy his 42 percent free throw percentage.
If Jordan is able to improve his percentage at the charity stripe, he could be an even more formidable finisher. Right now, fouling is the best way to solve the problem of DeAndre Jordan.
