Where you at Deandre Jordan?

in the post-game thread somebody acknowledged that Camby and Kaman were pretty much the only solid players on the squad so far and its pretty hard to argue that point. I guess you could argue more Jordan instead of Smith, but those two are definitely not interchangeable (and again, Smith has played fairly well.)

As of now, Jordan is just blocked by two better players. With the team struggling to win, MDsr doesn’t want Kaman in particular and Camby to a lesser degree out of the game.

I do think MDsr needs to start limiting Kaman’s minutes. He’s playing great but you can’t go overboard.

I think that DeAndre should keep learning from these guys and developing during practice. If he’s getting a lot of minutes this year, it probably means one of those guys is injured (nooooo!) or the Clips are losing so badly Dunleavy’s thrown all the bench guys in (also a bad scenario). He looked great in the preseason – but the flow of those games is a lot looser and the defense isn’t as tight so he could be the recipient of flashy alleyoop passes. The regular season is very different; I’m really hoping that Camby is mentoring him and teaching him how to use his length and energy to his advantage.
