Playing in Europe is exactly what he needed to do in order to be ready for Mike!!! That is a very calculated move. He has the offensive game to be effective in Mike's system. He was just too green and needed some seasoning. You have to have some understanding of the game from a Euro perspective in other words be more than just a big guy standing around out there. You need to know how to move in the offense and see and react properly to what's happening on the floor so you're not in the way, but part of the play. Most of these kids playing in the NCAA don't have that kind of knowledge of the game. Things are kept simple for them. In Europe the bigs are more well rounded and so it was good for Jordan to get some experience in that way.
He's a slim kid and doesn't look like he has a strong base. I doubt he can hold his position against strong post players. He's gonna have to work on that. Should be a good help defender tho. If he can board that would be the biggest plus to having him. We missed having a 7' and long C out there. Hey it's worth a shot to see what he can do.
