Los Angeles Clippers trade rumors: DeAndre Jordan now evolving as complete center

Some say that exposure will bring out the best in a person, and it sure does appear to be the case for DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Usually only considered a force when catching the ball from an alley-oop, Jordan has slowly developed a game that can help him dominate from the inside.

According to Fan Sided, the Clippers' center is still extremely underrated and his flashy dunks often overshadow other tricks he can bring to the court.

Furthermore, many are quick to criticise Jordan as he is a very poor free throw shooter. However, looking beyond that, there are still many positive things about having him on the floor.

Last season, Jordan achieved a career high as he averaged 12.7 points per game. He still finished the year as a monster in the rebounding category, taking down 13.8 a night along with his increased point tally. He also led the league in field goal percentage at an excellent 70 percent shooting from the field.

Given that he gets his shots from within a foot or two from the ring does not remove the fact that Jordan is very efficient.

Jordan is also a very reliable threat in the pick and roll because of his size and athleticism. There will always be a defender who will commit to him because of the things he brings to the table.

All that, paired with a successful stint with Team USA in the Rio Olympics should help make Jordan an even better player in the coming season.

One of the most important things about playing with the national team is the sense of pride that he is considered as one of the best players in the country.

And now, as reported by the Boston Globe in an interview with Clippers coach Doc Rivers, Jordan finally sees himself as a star who is an integral part of the team.

He is no longer only a role player set to do specific things. He now has the freedom to dominate when he can and however he can. This makes him a very dangerous asset for this Clippers club.
