DeAndre Jordan Continues To Shine On Friday
6 years agoDallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan continued his terrific start to the season on Friday night, even though his team lost to the Toronto Raptors. He scored 18 points, on 5-for-10 shooting and hit surprising 8-of-9 free-throws. Jordan also pulled down a game-high 15 boards, to go along with his five assists and one block, in 34 minutes. The Mavericks new starting center has been awesome this year, averaging 16.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks-per-game this year. However, the most surprising development is Jordan’s vastly improved free-throw shooting. This season, he’s shooting a sparkling 84.6 percent from the line, on a healthy 9.2 attempts-per-game. He probably won't keep up the hot shooting, but any improvement on his career 44.9 percent from the line is a welcome sight. Jordan will look to continue his torrid shooting on Sunday night against the Utah Jazz.
