SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: ELITE REBOUNDER/RIM PROTECTOR
DeAndre Jordan: an athletic, powerfully built pivot whose main priorities are to intimidate opponents on the boards and protect the basket; every night (in his prime), DJ systematically destroyed opponents on the glass – look up, down, then up again and DJ has already grabbed 10 rebounds, created extra possessions and, most importantly, helped dictate the pace of the game; has always run the floor very well: on the receiving end of countless lobs, Jordan runs the floor like a gazelle, tries to punish every rim w/ a devastating flush – ‘up top,’ catch & finish guy – was normally amongst league leaders in total dunks (because that’s his primary source of O); signed w/ Nuggets (2022) – won 1st title in Year 15! – DJ adds depth & shot-blocking up front
