His other son Jeff walked on at Illinois based mostly off his name, Marcus seems to be a little better but hardly what Mike was in high school. Marcus won't make the NBA unless he blows up in college. ESPN has him ranked as the #61 SG, nowhere near the top 100 overall. Miami, FSU, LSU, and Davidson are his top choices.

Just for fun, they have this write up about him (as of January 2009)

January, 2009: Jordan plays with maximum effort and intensity, ranking as a very good-glue guy, giving his team a boost in a number of categories on the court. He has very good athleticism, leaping ability, and quickness which allow him to excel in the open court, attacking the rim in transition. His hops helps him to finish in traffic when he gets to the rim and he has good body control and strength , which allows him to take contact at the rim, adjust in the air and still finish. Jordan, a lefty, can finish at the rim with just as easily with his right as he does with his left. He has a low release point on his jumper and would become a more consistent shooter from the perimeter if he releases the ball higher, an Achilles heel from Jordan at this point. His strength allows him to defend bigger players in the paint as well as battle for rebounds in traffic. Jordan also does a good job of playing passing lanes for steals. He passes the ball very well and sometimes plays as a point guard due to his ability to find open teammates. Jordan battles on every possession and does not take plays off.


Eerily similar? ;) but of course on a much lesser scale

Guess they got too much Juanita :p

but he could turn out to be another Steph Curry maybe...they both have parents with the 'Cats that played well in the NBA (one just a little bit better that the other ;) ) and young Jordan is looking at Davidson!

His best bet is to go to a smaller school and be the man.

I read in another article that he isnt near as good as his daddy was coming out of HS and thats why UNC never even considered him. You just never know really... :cool:

What do we really know about younger players anyway? I know some guys are highly touted coming out of highschool and they turn out to be stars and super stars in college but then there are those who aren't as highly recruited and they turn out as all american studs in college. Just because MJ's son is not thought that highly of coming out of highschool who knows how much upside this kid has. I think he should go to a school where he is not the man. He would be getter served in my humble opinion riding the bench for a year or two and learning from top coaches and athletes.
He should learn humility and grow some character. Simply being the son of a great like MJ is not going to get him where he may want to go. If he learns to be himself and not feel the pressure of being the icons son he will be fine. Both of the boys will be. They may not be basketball studs but if they are grounded and MJ has raised them right they will be fine no matter what career path they wind up in.

To shorten this long story, as far as basketball goes it is too soon to know what kind of players these boys of MJ's will be. Some people mature later than others. MJ was not thought to be nearly as good coming out of college as he turned out. If these boys have their dads dedication and competitiveness they will be fine. Unless of coarse they don't have enough of daddies DNA.
