| Jordan, Jerome | Tulsa | 7'1" | 244 | C | SR. | Jordan is the leading shot blocker in Conference USA history. His standing reach is 9'5"! (A 9'5" standing reach is equal to that of Shaquille O'Neal, Brook Lopez, and Hasheem Thabeet.) ...He finished as Tulsa's second leading career rebounder (behind only Michael Ruffin). Not bad for a guy that did not start playing hoop until his junior year of high school. Originally from Jamaica - Jordan moved to the States - which allowed him to compete in a team setting. Mostly - Jordan is a rebounder/shot blocker but he also has a dependable turn-around fade away in the post that could be called a go-to move in college. He is 7'1" so that shot does not get blocked. ...Not a big-time scorer. He also will get beat in transition. ...He does hit the defensive glass well. Not selfish. Pretty quick feet for his size which allows him to be a solid help-side defender. Good footwork w/ back to basket. …A quiet guy that doesn't pound his chest. Not excitable. He just plays. …Capable of going up to finish lobs at the rim on the run. Secures the ball well - uses both hands. ...Has an effective half-hook with his right hand but is not a one-on-one type threat offensively (at least not facing the basket). ...Physically has a similar body to Rasheed Wallace. |
Where do I expect Jordan to be taken? Somewhere around 37th.
Our best advice: In 2002 - the 37th pick was Tito Maddox. We said - "take Darius Songaila".
Our worst advice: In 2001 - the 37th pick was Mehmet Okur. We said - "take Nakeia Miller".
