Is DeAndre Jordan as good as Ty Chan?

[LT Ice Cream]

Relatively speaking. Obviously at this point Chandler is better, but he is also 29 while DJ is 23.
Jordan has proved that he is just as physically nasty offensively and defensively. And he probably has not reached his peak yet either.
I think he has potential to surpass Ty Chan within several years.
I do have to commend Ty Chan for his 73% FT shooting though.

DJ is on pace to be a better player than Chandler is right now. but now, he is not as good.

[Al Thornton]

he has a lot to work on, but should be just as good as current chandler or better. on offense as of right now he can literally only dunk.

[Kurosawa0]

Tyson Chandler was better. Much more of a double-double threat. Although both at this stage were/are more potential than reality.

DJ is the most all around athletic 7 footer in the league, beast.

They are pretty similar players at the same age.
Jordan is a better shot blocker though.

doesnt mean he is as good as Chandler is on defense. I compare Chandler's effect on the Mavs last year to what KG did for the 2008 Celtics' title run.

Chandler's impact on defense was that good.

Dwight and DJ are listed 6'11.
Dwight stronger, faster, quicker and higher leaper IMO.

[HB40TheNextStar]

Ryan Hollins is the most athletic 7+ in the league.

Dwight has said DJ is there with him athletically. Overall athlete though.. No. He's second.

Your point is correct IMO but I was just making a statement about their development.

29 year old Chandler >>> overall defence than Jordan.
23 yo Chandler <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29 year old Chandler.
24 year old Chandler did average 12 boards and 10 points with Hornets.

DeAndre Jordan is 7 feet. I've seen him stand next to Bynum at Staples live, and he's as tall as AB or taller. Dwight is like 6'10, that's why I didn't count him.

[Ronin]

Chandler is someone you can depend on to anchor the defense. Don't know if Jordan will ever be that good.

Tyson is, for all the crap that has been said about him throughout his career turned out to be a very smart player. That despite early in his career being considered boneheaded and making dumb fouls. He has great effect on both ends of the floor his last two healthy years he had ridiculous 125 and 131 ORtgs. He is good at setting picks and his threat on the offensive glass keeps big men from helping as much.

DJ is in the same mold, but he is a more incredible athlete. His big problem defensively are fouls, but Tyson had the same issue. His fouls dropped from 5.1 to 3.5 though the year he went to a team that wanted to do something serious with him and they never went back up. I suspect the same thing will happen with DJ.

My guess is DJ with CP will be as good or better than Tyson Chandler was his peak year

Yea he's grown a bit. He's also up to nearly 270 pounds which people don't know.
