New Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan already working on free throws

There are few Mavericks fans unhappy with the signing of DeAndre Jordan.

The former Aggie will be welcomed with open arms as a feared defender and skilled rebounder.

But there’s one aspect of his game that causes some to roll their eyes — free throws.

Jordan is a career 39.7 percent free throw shooter after seven seasons with the Clippers. His best season came in 2011-12 when he shot 52.5 percent from the line.

It’s an area of Jordan’s game that, to be frank, needs work. Fortunately for Mavs fans, the center appears to realize that.
