    his FT shooting makes him a liability in the 4th but Adams shot 58% from the line this season so he's not that much better either.
    Adams' has miles better touch, is a good passer where as DJ is an inept one, can actually create one-two moves for himself, is not a FT liability (Kerr stopped hacking him right after the first time), is a better defender, and equal rebounder but happens to be on one of the GOAT rebounding teams where the rebounding is distributed more equally.

    Adams > Jordan.

    Deandre is still a better finisher at the rim even if just dunking can get repetitive. Have a hard time saying Adams is a better defender especially during the regular season. There's a reason the Clippers were 6th in defense and it's not just CP3 and Mbah a Moute while the Thunder were 13th. Blocks will overrate him ofc but his rim protection was good this year and he's fine on pnr's. Also the rebounding gap is too huge to just be explained by adams being on a great rebounding team. Hell adams might not be as good as kanter at rebounding. Jordan's the 2nd best rebounder in the league after Drummond.

    DeAndre is better at defending the P&R and can stay on the floor longer because he doesn't foul as much and changes more shots than any other big man in the league.

    saying they're equal as rebounders is a stretch. DeAndre averaged twice as many boards per game the last two seasons.
