Has Deandre Jordan finally become the defensive player he should have been?

[Ben Simmons]

It's still early in the season, but the Clippers finally have a championship level defense, which has been their real problem as they have had great offenses in the CP3 era.

Is it cause DeAndre finally is playing like DPOY? Or is it just a fluke. Maybe Blake has improved defensively? What do you think.

I think everything you stated is playing a factor, Clippers just seem hungry right now. Really fun to watch because this is what you expect from them in previous seasons.

No. Chris Paul is dominating, Mbah is playing really strong defense, and Griffin is actually giving a consistent and strong effort there. Jordan isn't doing anything differently. He will never be a DPOY level defensive player.

DeAndre finally went from "glorified shot-blocker" to a true great defensive player last season IMO, but I'm not sure that he made any more strides from last year to this year, haven't seen enough of the Clips this season to say.
