The new Maverick big man has to escape the shadow of Los Angeles.

For the first time in the Dirk era, the Mavericks have landed a franchise center. DeAndre Jordan, by far the most explosive center in franchise history, will be running alongside Chandler Parsons and Dirk Nowitzki in the Mavericks' new, potent frontcourt. Jordan spurned the Clippers for the Mavs in large part due to the opportunity to flourish in Dallas and Mavs intend to give Jordan every opportunity to reach his potential, but a prevailing thought that's lingering around is that Jordan cannot thrive without Chris Paul's brilliance. A similar narrative sprung up after Tyson Chandler parted ways with Chris Paul during their Hornet days. Paul is a marvelous point guard, who any big man would be lucky to play with, but his brilliance is not the single prong supporting Jordan's offensive game.

In his time as a Maverick last year, Brandan Wright led the league in efficiency as a pick-and-roll finisher (minimum 50 possessions) at 1.42 points per possession; Tyson Chandler finished second. Jordan, who scored 1.36 points per possession as a pick-and-roll man, represents the best characteristics of both Chandler and Wright as a finisher. DeAndre has Tyson's physical build with Wright's breathtaking athleticism and body control. At times, Tyson could be a bit stiff around the basket if he had to take a dribble or two before putting up a shot. Conversely, Wright occasionally struggled with contact around the basket. DeAndre doesn't have Wright's touch, but he has the ability to power through defenders while being nimble enough to catch the ball and put on the floor for a couple dribbles.

Chris Paul may very well be the best point guard in the game, but his presence on the court did not dictate DeAndre's success. When Paul was on the court, Jordan had 1.15 points per possession on 71.1 percent from the field; when Paul was off the court, Jordan had 1.10 points per possession on 69.6 percent from the field per nbawowy.com. There's a negligible difference, but Jordan's offense does not crater when Paul exits the floor.

If anything, DeAndre will miss Blake Griffin's playmaking more. Finding a premier playmaker at the power forward position is rare in the NBA. Jordan shot a ridiculous 80.3 percent on passes made by Paul, but he shot an even more ridiculous 84.3 percent on passes from Griffin per NBA.com.
