Video: A few of Orlando's favorite sons hooping at ENC 

Post#1 » by Smooth_E » Fri Aug 29, 2014 5:01 pm

Gortat, CLee, Austin Rivers, Ben Gordon, DWash, Ewing Jr., Croaker, and a few others.

Thoughts on Gordon, Gortat's growth physically and as a player, Austin Rivers' place in the NBA, Gortat's self-tuned BMW M5?

How did Ben Gordon look compared to the young guys, or just in general?

Clearly a product of AAU ball, which is saddening. Looks like he's got the tools, just needs to play more team ball.

He looked functional. He was slower than them but effective with his dribble and picks so he got to the hoop a lot.

Rivers played a LOT better in year 2 then he did in his rookie season. He was better in all aspects of his game.
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

Just in general. A lot of people here were against the signing when it first happened, just wanted to see if everyone still felt the same/diferent.

I personally thought that he declared for the league too early.

Agreed. He improved quite a bit in his second season. I'm still not sure what we can expect from him moving forward but it looks like he might have a better shot at staying in the league and being a productive player one day. After his rookie campaign I was almost certain that he would be a goner. He was that bad.
