    Default How close is DeAndre to Shaq w.o. the skill?

    Dude has crazy athletic ability that reminds me of a young shaq, but that's as far as it goes. Rookie Shaq had ten fold skills over this guy, but it got me thinking thread title.

    Aside from the skill, I think he actually might be less agile than Shaq and significantly less strong. Shaq is a tier or three above DJ.

    DeAndre is 6-9 1/2, and weighs maybe 275.

    Shaq was a shade under 7-1 and weighed between 300-350+ in his career.

    Shaq had a 35-36 inch vertical, DeAndre's probably pushing 40+. He's one of the best jumping big men in league history and he can get up off one or two feet. Incredible leaping ability for a man his size. Other than that, Shaq is easily his physical superior. Far bigger, stronger, more agile and coordinated, better footwork, better reflexes and better touch.

    Javelle McGee is closer to Shaq than DeAndre Jordan in terms of size/athleticism. Jordan is basically Dwight Howard minus 20 lbs of muscle and a hook shot.
