    But next game he will get six. Rarely does Jordan get less than 10. I would choose Nurkic over Jordan because he is more versatile. But, Jordan would be fun to watch.

    Don’t ask how I got down this hole, but guess who our backup/third string center is gonna be next season?

    Jordan would be a better backup C than Zeller, and probably a better backup C for Billups than Freedom

    washed up. Not mobile enough for todays game. Rather have a young project for billups to develop.
    Unless you are talking about helping the tank… then sure!

    still grades out well defensively, still rebounds, still blocks shots, still efficient around the rim. We need a low maintenance backup that’s ok with not playing but also good enough to give you minutes if need be. Jordan is the right fit for that role. The other possibilities are Baynes and Ed Davis but Davis looks dusted and Baynes had a serious injury.

    I doubt whether a quote from nine years ago means much today.

    Point was they’re close. This roster is starting to have Billups fingerprints all over it. Not hard to put the two together.
