Do you know the difference between "average" and "elite"? Someone with "elite" length will have an easier time than someone with "average" length. That is a truism. There is nothing to argue or debate in that statement, yet somehow that is what you continue to do.
I DID NOT SAY IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR GORDON. I SAID IT WILL BE *DIFFICULT* BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE ELITE LENGTH NOR ELITE SKILLS.
There's no way Gordon's going to be able to consistently score in the post at his size
That is the statement you need to be dealing with. Tell me how that is wrong. Do you understand the difference between saying something is impossible and saying it is unlikely? Or does your mind only deal with black and white?
let me repeat for you

i'm sorry i didn't interpret "no way" as "difficult" lmao
you're so fkn basic.
Unfortunately, like a huge number of casual fans, you make your arguments based on few cherry-picked examples. "Well, Paul Millsap did it, so why can't Gordon?" That is not sound logic. It doesn't explain why Gordon should be able to do it, it just states the obvious, which is that it's *possible*. Nobody is saying otherwise.
that is the ONLY thing i have been arguing. that it is possible for gordon.
your statement of no way inferred NOT POSSIBLE
Oh, and by the way. Paul Millsap has a 7'1.5" wingspan, a full 2 inches greater than Gordon. So once again, even your cherry-picked example falls a bit short, no pun intended.
wingspan is horizontal
standing reach is vertical
yeah his ability to get a shot off has everything to do with how long he is horizontally
